Vadym talks with Lee about his sweet little boy Andrew, who was stillborn at 37 weeks due to hydrocephalus caused by an immature teratoma tumor on his brain stem in the cranial cavity. Vadym talks about how he and his wife Nataliia met while dancing and fell in love after being friends for a while. Vadym talks about how they were so excited to welcome their son into the world and how it was a wonderful pregnancy, until a simple check up late in the pregnancy.
