Lucci also spoke out about how her daughter has handledBrendan’s medical prognosis. “I am very proud of her,” she said of Liza. “Good for Brendan, for his mom to speak about him with such pride publicly, as well as to open up a conversation about cerebral palsy. It can only have a positive impact and how wonderful for Brendan to know his family is proud of him.”

Liza has said she is incredibly delighted with all of her son’s progress, which includes Brendanattending a 2017 gala for ADAPT with his grandma. “I want to shout his accomplishments from the rooftop. Walking up two stairs of our home without holding on when he gets home from schoolisthe biggest deal ever!” Liza said. “I want to celebrate him and for him to celebrate himself.”
