So, she was exhasted and the kids didn't get held enough for stimulation.
Three things stand out to me in the story.
1. the blonde researcher is an amazing woman who deserves all the funding she wants
2. the parents, in spite of being cousins are nice people and good parents - just stuck in the stupidity of their culture
3. the children are charming and driven to get better.
I won't spoil the show and type more but it is a staggeringly amazing bunch of infomation.
I just watched to see people using anatomy in states of challenge but ended up moved - very moved.
That blonde researcher is a great hero-ine

Yes she is. I agree she should get all the funding. What was so sad is the torment this family went through and will continue to go through. This is one instance where they should be brought to America for medical care. At least they will get the care I can't get as a born citizen. I wanted to throw stones back at those kids and spank them until they were red.
