Gwen Petrucci

Gwen Petrucci is a girl with spina bifida who had surgery before she was born.

History
Gwen was diagnosed in utero with spina bifida. Her mother decided to have fetal surgery at Addison's recommendation to repair her spinal column. The surgery was successful, but even so, Gwen was struggling to learn to walk at age seven. While in physical therapy, she fell and hit her head.

Unbeknownst to Gwen, her mother saw Addison in the ER and decided to sue her in order to get money to raise and care for Gwen after being laid off. Addison eventually convinced her to drop the lawsuit so that Gwen wouldn't even find out and get the feeling that she wasn't wanted.

Familial
Her father left the family before she was two. After that, her mother raised and cared for her alone.
