Meghan King Edmondsis sharing her son’s health journey.
Just over a week after revealing that her 13-month-old son Hart has"irreversible brain damage", the formerReal Housewives of Orange Countystar, 34, shared clips of Hart’s recent physical therapy appointment.
“Hart loves this swing at PT! It helps him build his abs and stabilize his core to ultimately give him better balance and strength,” she explained.
Edmonds also posted a sweet photo of Hart and his twin brother Hayes in their strollers, with Hart fast asleep. “Side affect [sic] of PT day,” she captioned the photo, adding a sleepy emoji.

Last week, Edmonds revealed that Hart has “minor Periventricular Leukomalacia on both sides of his brain” and is “at risk for being diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy.”
The former reality star shared the news in a blog post called"My Hart,“writing, “From the minute he was born I knew something was different with Hart,” also adding, “The nurses struggled to straighten his legs to measure his length. He suckled hard, shallow, and often until I bled and he spit up black. … Well, I knew. I always knew. I just knew.”
Throughout the distressing journey to find Hart’s diagnosis, Edmonds says she communicated with husband and former Major League ballplayer Jim Edmonds, who was recentlyaccused of having an affairwith a mistress, with whom he allegedly exchanged “lewd photos” for several months.
“That night Jimmy and I went out to dinner for the first time in weeks,” she wrote of telling her husband about Hart’s diagnosis. “I explained to Jimmy how we are not somehow compromised or punished for having a child with special needs (whatever that may or may not mean!), we are BLESSED.”
“I will go on about this another time but just know that I do not see his diagnosis as anything but a gift: we were chosen to take on this special person. I truly feel as if we’ve doubled down and won the underdog hand. Truly,” said Edmonds, who previously documented her son’sMRI appointmentin late June.
“This doesn’t mean his diagnosis isn’t a challenge… or a little bit sad, or that I don’t feel a little bit guilty. Because yes — just yes — to all of those things. I pray for a miracle and I grapple with how to navigate his life,” the mother of three added.

One week after Jim was accused of having an affair, the former Bravo star shared a photo of her husband holding their son while she documenteda recent trip to the hospitalwhere Hart got an MRI.
“Thank you to everyone who sent this perfect child all your prayers. We love each of you,” Edmonds added alongside a separate post.
