A victim of the incredibly rare ‘Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum,’ Derek was once able to do most normal, everyday activities. Until he wasn’t. As a then 14-year-old, complaints of a headache soon meant Derek would never speak, eat, or perform standard daily functions again. Derek’s mother joins us, detailing the regression of her son’s condition, and how she, as his dedicated caretaker, has managed to get through each new day rebuilding her beloved son. Tune in today to watch this special episode on YouTube, and learn all about the Lyons’ story.   For The Hayters YouTube Channel Check out our website and share your story! forthehayters.com Follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook! @forthehayters Buy some merch! forthehayters.com/the-shop
