Josie’s Story

Josephine is our fourth child.  When Josie was four months old she was diagnosed as “failing to thrive”.  She was quickly falling off the growth chart.  Further testing showed this was not the case.  By the time she was seven months old her real diagnosis was found.  She has Metatropic Dysplasia- a rare form of dwarfism.  She was the 82nd recorded case in the world.

I hope you will leave more aware, informed, and compassionate to those who have  one of the 200+ forms of dwarfism.
