When Liza Learned About Her Son’s Diagnosis
Liza and her tech executive husband, Alex Hesterberg, have four children; three boys named Royce, Brendan, and Mason and one daughter named Hayden. Yet when Liza was pregnant with Brendan, she said she knew there was something wrong.

At 31 weeks pregnant, Liza said she was in excruciating pain so bad that she almost couldn’t move. Brendan was born that night, nine weeks early. He weighed a measly 4 lbs and was immediately rushed to the NICU.

Almost a week after his birth he was placed on a ventilator when he stopped breathing. Liza was afraid her son wasn’t going to live through the ordeal. He was later diagnosed with cerebral palsy.

Liza was so shocked by the news that she “just froze” all she could do was cry. While she was upset by his diagnosis, she said she was simply glad he had the ability to walk, which many other children with cerebral palsy do not.

Liza said she realized something was wrong with her son when he was tripping and falling regularly and she couldn’t understand what was causing him to do that.

She said she tried to hide his diagnosis for many years, but realized it made her son think he had something to be ashamed of, which he does not. She now says she wants him to feel good and proud for overcoming challenges.
