Leoparents hear the word "curse" for the first time.
The doctor informs them in an indifferent tone that she doesn’t know what is wrong with the child, but that she just read online (!!!) about a condition called "Ondine’s
Curse".
She adds that it is likely that „he” will be bedridden and dependent on a ventilator for life.
And then she leaves, without any further explanation.
In the evening, at his parents’ request, Leo whose condition is „life-threatening”,
is taken to the Children’s Memorial Health Institute.
