@@AccipiterAtricapillushaving a child to take care of you when you’re old and to be “successful” seems like bad motivation. It should be to help them live the best life and to be happy.
People always say "doctors told her/him/them" in such a rude, accusatory way, as if doctors just want to be mean or pessimistic. They don't. They're telling parents realistic expectations. Just because a few kids beat the odds doesn't mean the doctors are wrong or cruel; they're giving likely outcomes so parents can be realistic about it. The vast majority of medical professionals want everyone to beat the odds, so stop depicting them in a negative light.
The reason people talk like this about doctors these days it because of the increasing awareness of the multi-tiered healthcare system common in America. Go ahead, ask us veterans if most of us feel like we have been heard by our doctors? Absolutely not. I had to ignore TWO HUNDRED FIFTY healthcare professionals so that I could get my cancer diagnosis. They said it was "anxiety". Modern doctors have absolutely EARNED the derision they get. Maybe they should stop being bad at their job and treat humans who are suffering like they're humans who are suffering. Nothing more disgusting than talking to an arrogant god-complex unprofessional WEALTHY person who speaks down to you who has now lost your job because your illness has destroyed your life, you are poor, you are desperate, and NO ONE WILL HEAR YOU. "Don't be mean to doctors!" Yeah... BOOHOO, go cry more.
Depends …. From personal experience I can say , generally you’re right …. Though they are many exceptions and many Doctors who are truly insensitive…I’m grateful I never came across them
It would be MUCH more cruel to give false hope and have the child never met those expectations. Doctors are there for truth and science. Both can seem cruel at times
I am 100 percent going to stop using this as an insult. I actually had NO clue this was a thing, and it's incredibly sad. I couldn't imagine what this mother is going through, she's much stronger than I am.
I know a person whose son has smooth brain syndrome and a condition in which the brain fails to split properly. His son is thriving, and needs a lot of care, but he's alive, happy, and has defied the odds,
Its weird how that diet helps people with them, but when I was on that diet when I hit the 8 month mark I started getting tics and absent seizures. Could have been caused by something else but when I changed my diet it stopped. Maybe I had a nutrient deficiency because some of those cause that, I guess the vitamin gummies didn't absorb well enough. But honestly whatever I eat will hurt me somewhere, my guts stomach or something else. Its hard to find the right food.
She seems like such a sweet, loving mother. She's exactly the mom this baby needs. I've no doubt that she'll do anything and everything to see that her child the best life possible.
Before i was a father these stories would just be skipped over or ignored when i would come across them. Now i cant ignore it but it tears me apart inside seeing the trials everyone goes through for love.

I've never heard this condition called by its common name (likely because of its common use as a slur), so this video's title really made me curious. Raising awareness is a great cause. I'll bet treatment in the US is expensive, and the financial strain could easily be an unnecessary source of stress when this young family already has so much to worry about. Regardless, their optimism and clear zest for life is inspirational! Bless them. I wish them well and hope this little boy continues to surpass expectations. May they enjoy a happy life.
"Smooth brain" was only ever an insult, rarely ever a slur on the internet. Doctors should stick to the actual medical term and not use the internet slang.
It’s situations like these that I think we can all agree as a species, that our fast rate of medical advancement is needed most, and am great full to all the scientists/doctor’s and anyone and everyone involved in creating medications/ treatments and hopefully one day a cure for this miracle child and all other members of the human race.
If we removed tax breaks for religious groups, we could fund so much medical research so that little babies like Carter would be healed. We don't need prayers and magic. We need smart scientists who are funded so they can study the problem and solve it. I mean, if the believers are upset, they can always pray to their particular god to send the money rather than demanding that we steal resources that can save so many people, including Carter, for their playtime with their fellow religious playdates.

Some doctors seem so negative. I always hear things like " the doctors said he or she will never this or that." Kinda annoying. Anyhow.. I hope this condition gets more awareness.
It's important to let parents know about any potential hardships as early as possible. It allows them to prepare more. Plus, the unfortunate reality of rare diseases is, we only really hear about the survivors of these rare conditions because of how rare survival can be; it wouldn't be on the news if it was typical. Granted, cautious optimism would probably be a good thing to implement in one's bedside manner.
It's called ''Realistic expectations''. This does not mean one is doomed to suffer the worst, but, it is known one will never be at their best again. No reason to sugar coat factual truth.

I raised an autistic stepson. This lady's son is probably even more challenging to take care of with the physical limitations he has. I don't know how much progress he can make, nor his expected lifespan. There is so much extra work and sacrifice required for these kids, and often, so little help. There is still much joy and love to be had though.
@@luisfernando5998 You're an embarrassment and a disgrace. Jesus is ashamed of you. This child has Lissencephaly, but it is you who is the "Smooth Brain".
According to wiki, you can actually find out after 20 weeks of gestation (that's when the brain stops looking smooth normally as it then starts to develop the gyri), but it's not a typical thing to look for unless you are already aware/weary of possible faulty brain development due to genetics or trauma. It would need a combo of MRI, NMR, complex ultrasounds early on in the pregnancy. So it's way too expensive and possibly stressful to make it a routine thing in America.. That said, I already forgot if they mentioned, in what state she's in, so depending on where a woman like her was going through her pregnancy, she might not even have been allowed an abortion, let alone a medically necessary one, which blows my mind as a European.
I started saying it after learning that the folds in humans brains is what makes us smart not the size, so I had no idea it was real. I even thought this video might be a parody. I’m baffled

I never knew smooth brain was an actual condition. That poor baby boy. I hope he receives all the care in the world.
Hear me out….. step daddy season
Sweet little boy!
God bless them !!!
God bless you and your family 🙏
2:27 That text in the background is execution code for a 3D printer... I think the video editor phoned it in here.
Maybe he's 3D printing a brain?
😂
I have no idea how she deals with this. He'll never not be disabled and she never had any choice or power over this.
Yea. Her choices were basically let him become a ward of the state or take care of him herself forever. I can’t imagine the stress she’s undergoing
@@Ratgodxshe deserves it for taking stranger D from like tinder
I raised an autistic stepson.
This lady's son is probably even more challenging to take care of with the physical limitations he has. I don't know how much progress he can make, nor his expected lifespan. There is so much extra work and sacrifice required for these kids, and often, so little help.
There is still much joy and love to be had though.
@@luisfernando5998 You're an embarrassment and a disgrace. Jesus is ashamed of you.
This child has Lissencephaly, but it is you who is the "Smooth Brain".
According to wiki, you can actually find out after 20 weeks of gestation (that's when the brain stops looking smooth normally as it then starts to develop the gyri), but it's not a typical thing to look for unless you are already aware/weary of possible faulty brain development due to genetics or trauma.
It would need a combo of MRI, NMR, complex ultrasounds early on in the pregnancy.
So it's way too expensive and possibly stressful to make it a routine thing in America..
That said, I already forgot if they mentioned, in what state she's in, so depending on where a woman like her was going through her pregnancy, she might not even have been allowed an abortion, let alone a medically necessary one, which blows my mind as a European.
A mother’s love, man.
where is the dad?
Long gone.....
I've heard others joke about someone having a smooth brain,meaning they are stupid, but I didn't know it was a real condition.
I started saying it after learning that the folds in humans brains is what makes us smart not the size, so I had no idea it was real. I even thought this video might be a parody. I’m baffled
Same here until I started googling it last year.
@kee7374 you must be braindea d as well as smoothed brain to not know this as an adult
Love her as a person already
I want to be this kid’s stepdad
I guess Einstein had the opposite of this, since his brain was found to be very wrinkled.
Every child in this generation has a smooth brain at this point 💀
Got it from mom....
😂😂
😂😂yep!
I’ve always felt like my brother has a smooth brain.
It’s just another word for dumb
Like you
its all the "food" we eat
Mom seems to have an issue herself. I noticed that one of her eyes blinks as if the two eyes are not in sync. Bless the baby and mom. 🙏
Stop talking nonsense
@@elizabethpieters7798 Only a child would think that a possible health issue could be nonsense. Thanks for your reply. Bless your heart.
It’s called a lazy eye
@@lace312it's not just a regular "lazy eye". Seen plenty of those. It's a little different, for sure.
I thought being smooth brained was just an insult to someone's intelligence, not an actual condition. 😢
May that little boy's path in Life be smoother... 🙏😔
THIS is why people need to stop with the "smooth brain" jokes. This is a real disability, and not a funny joke.
Actually, THIS is exactly why the joke works.
Most people don't know that and frankly I don't think they ever will.
Oh my god, I bet you've never insulted anyone 😂😂
@@kelleygreengrass Your insult game is lacking if you need to invoke ableism in order to insult someone
@@malinia.20 waaaah waaah. That's what you sound like. A huge baby.
Nobody is making fun of this kid when they say that, and you know it. You just want to pretend to be a good person when, in reality, you're the one linking an insult to intelligence as being linked to this. I'm sure you call things lame and are guilty of every sin you attempt to project onto others like an incapable infant.
Wait a minute? 😂 I thought this was the onion for a second
i didn’t know this was a real thing… now i feel so bad that me and my friends use the joke. i am definitely gonna stop after this!
I feel bad for using this as an insult. I didn't know it was a thing 😮
Where is dad?
Women capacity to choose a good father is always question able
None of our business, for all we know he's dead or she was raped.
Probably ran away like most men do when they find out their kid is disabled
@@emmanuelnaranjo8114 no such thing as good father, most men are evil
@@emmanuelnaranjo8114 how can they choose when good men don’t exist? Even studies show that men are much more likely to leave their sick wives than women. Women are much more likely to stay back and care for him. It’s literally proven
beautiful boy❤
This is why I'm an antinatalist. This child is suffering simply because he was born. The true issue here is bringing new sentient beings into existence.
This makes zero sense
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
MIRACLES HAPPEN
Is that why the boy got smooth brain?
Good luck little dude!
