He has a rare chromosome disorder. Causes failure to thrive, odd number of digits, scoliosis, etc. Hes a fighter though! He will unfortunately always be wheelchair bound, non verbal and overall just a tiny little guy. But look at that smile. Hes such a happy fella!
Edit: This got a lot more attention than I anticipated. Thank you all!
He’s beautiful. Seeing that happiness on your sons face hits my heart. I worked with medically fragile children for 16 years: chromosome issues, severe injuries, and terminal illnesses. After years of frustration with medical companies my husband and I started a company that fit kids in specially designed mobility and provided therapeutic devices. If you work with special needs children or adults you can’t help but become attached. We knew some of our patients most of their lives. There is no way you can work with these kids without loving them and admiring their joy. We received so much from the kids we served.
Happy 14th you sweet fella! Keep that smile coming.
