Thank you very much, both of you, for coming and sharing your stories. I can only imagine how difficult it is to be wrestling with a disorder and deadly illness of the brain that is not easily understandable and there aren't that many road maps for, and to work with your child and not know if you're going to succeed or not. I just want to honour your courage and strength, both of you.
I'm new to this committee so I haven't been through some of the other testimony and panels, so I'm going to ask a couple of questions to better understand.
In calling this a deadly illness of the brain, do the brain changes result from the reduced eating, or is it a brain illness that contributes to the reduced eating?
