Leo’s Health Struggles
Leo was born in June to Alex and his partner, Jessica Lee. During a 10-minute segment, Alex revealed that over the weekend, he lost his youngest child to hydrocephalus, a condition linked to a malignant brain tumor. “Hydrocephalus causes an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, which can lead to severe complications,” he explained.
Alex first became concerned about Leo’s health a couple of months after his birth when he noticed signs like persistent cough and an unusually large head. “I thought it was just sinus congestion,” he said. “But when we took him to the doctor, we discovered the fluid buildup was serious.” Leo underwent emergency surgery, but his condition deteriorated rapidly. “We found out the tumor was growing faster, and it was devastating,” Alex added.
A Last Weekend Together
In a heartfelt moment, he shared how he spent quality time with Leo on the last weekend of his life, taking him to the ocean. “I had no idea it would be our last day together,” he reflected. Sadly, Leo passed away shortly after, leaving Alex and Jessica heartbroken.
