Meghan King Edmonds says son diagnosed with brain damage is ‘more social’ after treatments

Meghan King Edmonds has revealed her 15-month-old son, Hart Edmonds, is adjusting well to treatments after being diagnosed with irreversible brain damage.

The former “Real Housewives of Orange County” star, who is currently in New Orleans with Hart for another intensive therapy program, has been posting updates on her son’s health on Instagram.

On Wednesday, Meghan, 35, shared a list of improvements, including how Hart is “wanting to bear weight on his feet and legs almost 100 percent of the time” and “reaches for my hand for assistance with walking.”

She added, “He’s also calm in the chamber and he even wants to lay down. He’s not fussy at all, whereas before, he was a little bit agitated. At this point, he was in seven sessions.”

Meghan said Hart, who has a twin brother named Hayes and older sister Aspen, 2, has become “more social,” too.

“He’s always been social, but he’s finding things funnier and trying to make me laugh in a more deliberate way with the way he’s socially interacting,” she explained. “He’s also falling asleep in his crib without fussing at all.”

In August, Hart attended another intensive therapy program in California, where he reached the milestone of standing by himself for the first time.

Meghan told Page Six in July that her toddler was diagnosed with periventricular leukomalacia — a form of irreversible brain damage — earlier this summer, but admitted it was “a relief.”

“I really wanted nothing more than to just be a crazy hypochondriac mother, but I knew I wasn’t,” she said. “Because of that diagnosis, I got him into all these therapies.”
