44. Amy Prosser - A Family Story

Terry and Amy Prosser, from Graniteville, SC, had their youngest daughter, Carly, in 2012. When Carly was only 5 months old, she was diagnosed with cortical visual impairment and 2 months later began having infantile spasms, a catastrophic form of epilepsy. Terry researched doctors and hospitals that specialized in infantile spasms and quickly found Dr. James Wheless and Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. 

The Prossers traveled to Memphis every couple of months for 8 years for Carly’s care that quickly evolved into seeing many specialists at Le Bonheur. She was diagnosed with Microcephaly-Capillary Malformation Syndrome in 2016 and passed away in 2021 at 9 years old. The Prossers are so grateful for the care and compassion Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, Fed-Ex Family House, and the Forrest Spence Fund gave to them during their journey, and Amy still keeps in touch with many that became family to them.
