Meghan King has revealed that her 2-year-old son Hart has Cerebral Palsy. The Real Housewives of Orange County alum was “expecting this diagnosis,” she wrote in her Tuesday, October 6, blog post, according to Us Weekly.
“Even though he’s the same kid, I expected it to hit me hard. But it didn’t. It didn’t hit me hard at all. In fact, I felt relieved. … This is the once dreadful diagnosis I knew was coming since that fateful day I googled the right thing and it hit me like a truck: CP. I knew it was CP since Hart was a few months old. I just knew.”
She went on to write that CP is defined as “brain paralysis,” calling this an “exceedingly misleading and ridiculous designation.”
Meghan continued, “Hart’s brain isn’t paralyzed, but there are some areas of damage. CP quite simply manifests as a motor disorder. That’s it. Yep. It has nothing to do with cognitive function, hearing, etc. (although these are deficits often found in people who have CP they are referred to as ‘comorbidities’ and not CP by definition).”
She concluded that the diagnosis “changes nothing” and her son will “continue receiving the therapy he’s already getting.”
Meanwhile, Jim Edmonds claims that his estranged wife, Meghan King, didn’t inform him of their 2-year-old son Hart’s cerebral palsy diagnosis before she shared the news in a blog post.
“Jim is unaware of any such diagnosis and, if it is even true, it is completely unconscionable and absolutely disgraceful that Meghan would announce this on social media without discussing it with him first,” Edmonds’ rep Steve Honig said in a statement to Us Weekly.
However, Meghan is claiming otherwise. “Jim’s statements are untrue and I refuse to address them further,” she told the publication.
