When 3-year-old Ever was born, she came extremely fast. Her mom, Robin Hisko, didn't experience any complications and everything seemed pretty normal for the most part.
In the video below, posted on April 27, 2017, Robin and her husband, Kirk, take their baby girl home, but immediately realize that something is wrong.
They bring Ever to the Children's Hospital Of Eastern Ontario, where doctors treat their newborn's Gerd, and extreme form of acid reflux.
Soon, Ever is happy again, but her excessive happiness starts to take a toll on her.
Robin explains, "While Ever was happy, and boy she was so happy at this point, but it was almost too happy. She was definitely missing milestones."
Right after Ever's 2nd birthday, her parents find out that their toddler has Angelman Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects development, speech, and movement. Two notable symptoms of the condition are a frequent happy demeanor and the ability to survive on minimal sleep. Ever only sleeps for an hour a day and her parents stay up to be there for her as much as possible.
Despite these setbacks, Ever's parents realize that this isn't something to dwell on. Ever's contagious smile lifts others up and that's all her family really cares about.
"She's such a happy, gentle, sweet, amazing girl and nothing gets her down. Nothing stops her and she never stops trying," Robin says.
