She will stay the size of a doll forever: How the liitle girl Thumbelina looks and lives now
Many people have never even heard of microcephalic osteodysplastic type II primary dwarfism. In simple terms, this is a particularly complex version of dwarfism, in which the body does not grow at all. And in this case, no options.
Abigail Lee was unfortunate enough to be born with such a genetic disease.
At first glance, a completely ordinary picture – the baby is sitting in a stroller, only in this case the stroller is a toy, for dolls.
Now Abigail is already 2 years old, but her weight is almost like that of a baby – only 9 lb.
According to doctors’ forecasts, the girl will grow by about 23 inches. The baby is completely healthy, she eats well, plays and develops, but doesn’t grow.
Unfortunately, medicine doesn’t yet cure this type of dwarfism, but let’s hope that in the future scientists will come up with something.
Abigali will be able to study and live a long and happy life. We hope the baby will feel joyful and confident.
