My neice that is only 5 months old right now, was just diagnosed with a form of dwarfism.I can't remember the exact medical name for it,but she's just so precious and tiny,and I'm scared for her. We know how a lot of society looks at the "Little People",and makes fun of them,thinks they belong in the circus,and things like that.I can't even imagine someone making fun of my neice,and how I'd react if I saw it.I'd probably end up putting them in the hospital! But I'm afraid for her both emotionally and medically,because her body won't grow to full size ,but her organs will,and it will cause her health problems.I don't get why she has to deal with this she's just a innocent little baby!
Does anybody else here have a friend or relative that is a small person like that,that is okay,and is living a good life,and is not being hurt so bad,just so my mind could be at ease a little about this?
