Gypsy undergoes many surgeries, during one of which her salivary glands are removed. Her story begins to circulate and a short time later, fundraisers are organized to help the mother afford care for the child. The mother will later state that her daughter also suffers from mental retardation. Things continue to get further complicated when she is diagnosed with muscular dystrophy and leukemia at the age of 8. On her return, however, the mother states that the her daughter’s injuries require several surgical operations, and for this reason she puts her in a wheelchair.
The first problems begin when Gypsy starts to suffer from sleep apnea, and for this reason she is often taken to the hospital, where she is monitored during the night with special machines.Īt the age of 7 Gypsy, after a fall on her grandfather’s motorcycle, was taken to the hospital to have her knee wound treated. Shortly after the birth of his daughter, the father decides to break up with his wife, so the family unit shrinks and Dee Dee and Gipsy start living just the two of them, moving to the home of the mother’s relatives. Dee Dee is 24 and Rod is a 17 year old boy. Gypsy Rose is born, daughter of Dee Dee and Rod Blanchard, a young couple from Louisiana. The world discovered only afterwards a disturbing reality that has shuffled all the cards on the table. Indeed it seemed this way for many years.
The story of Gypsy Rose and Dee Dee Blanchard initially seems to be a story of loving relationship between mother and daughter, who walk together on a path of resilience overcoming many obstacles.
