Liz Brosniak

Liz Brosniak is a pregnant woman with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

History
Liz was 23 weeks pregnant when she had pressure in her lower back, so she went to the hospital. Arizona did an ultrasound and told Liz she looked like she was having contractions, which she was going to try to stop. While she was examining Liz, she noticed that her son, Noah, had an unnatural-sounding laugh. She asked Alex and Amelia to take a look at him. They took him for an MRI and while he was gone, Liz started to panic that she had missed something and started bleeding. She was rushed into the OR for a cervical cerclage. While Arizona worked, Liz explained that she had been with the baby's father, Mike, but she left him because he always referred to the baby as their baby but Noah as her son and she knew she'd have a husband, but her son wouldn't have a father. After she ended things, she cried every day, which she thinks might be the reason she didn't notice his laugh changing. After her cerclage, she learned that her son's tumor was too close to his brainstem and was inoperable, though Amelia and Alex believed the research they were doing for Kimmie Park might also work for Noah.

Romantic
She was seeing a man named Mike when she became pregnant for the second time. After realizing he'd never see Noah as his own son, she ended things with him. Afterward, she cried every day for months.

Familial
She has a son, Noah, who was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, which caused seizures that were manifesting as robotic laughter.
