    During an appointment with paediatricians at the Prince Charles Hospital, Sonny stumbled. “It was the first time that doctors had actually seen it happen, rather than us just trying to film it,” recalls Sonny’s father, Jason Strozkiy. “I said, ‘That’s it, that’s what we’re talking about, that stumble.’ “You could almost see [the doctor’s] concern come on her face. She was like, ‘OK, we should probably talk to a neurologist.’ ” After an emergency trip to the Queensland Children’s Hospital, geneti
