Saving Lacey

Lacey

Lacey ate more than normal for a newborn, but kept losing weight. At about a week old she started vomiting and having episodes of pain that made her act as if she was on fire.

“I thought she was going to die, she was that frail looking. It was absolutely horrible,” said Lacey’s mother, Lisa Roche.

By 5-months-old, Lacey topped the scale at 9 pounds and was admitted to Children’s Hospital Central California. A team of doctors pieced together clues and Lacey was diagnosed with an incredibly rare genetic metabolic disorder. There’s only about a 100 cases reported worldwide.
