Brittany was born with a genetic condition called Vein of Galen Aneurysm. This occurs when there is an abnormal connection between the arteries and the deep draining veins of the brain. It wasn’t until 2003 that doctors discovered that as a result of the condition, there was a large blood clot in the center of Brittany’s brain. They attempted to shrink the clot with radiation however, they were unfortunately unsuccessful. For now, they can only continue to monitor her carefully. In addition, Brittany suffers from severe seizures for which she takes daily medications.
This brave teen is a huge fan of Mariah Carey and couldn’t believe it when her wish to meet her idol came true!
