Myla Tan is regressing. She's lost much of her curiosity, is unwilling to explore her home or flip through books as much as she used to and her father feels helpless.

The 6-year-old is deaf, blind in one eye and has cognitive delays, heart issues and other physical difficulties that are part of CHARGE syndrome, a disorder caused by a gene mutation.
