Lucy

Lucy was diagnosed with Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (VEDS) after a close call with death; a ruptured splenic artery. She was lucky to survive, and during that event the surgeons also found several other aneurysms in her body. She received genetic confirmation of VEDS 8 months later. One of her daughters, Zaria, who is now 8 years old, was also diagnosed. Lucy tells her story with VEDS all the way from New Zealand!
