I can't remember the name of the original syndrome my nephew was originally diagnosed with. But when my nephew was born we realized he looked different and developed different and after 2 years of checking every strand of his DNA they found out he had aarskog syndrome. When he was one they told us it was something way more common and we studied that. After the sequencing and we found out officially that it was aarskog we were surprised. Not too much is know because it is so very rare. It is the rarest, most common syndrome. Symptoms include being double jointed and having webbed fingers. Common things. But so many health issues and learning disabilities and growth stunts. But my nephew is so smart and so beautiful and kind and thankfully he is healthier than we were told he would be. Her smile reminds me of his. I love seeing that families and kids are able to overcome the small things and make the best out of every day.
WOW!!! What great parents and Doctor. Thank God she has you both and this doctor.
A true inspiration. I'm really happy for Libbie.
What a beautiful & amazing little girl!

She is so cute! Bless her little heart!
OMG, cutest little girl EVER! I'm totally in love with her. Her family is so lucky.

I’m so glad she can walk straight! I’m glad she’s healthy and happy!
What a little cutie!!!!!! Oh she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! INSIDE AND OUT!!!! Here's her some precious little flowers! 🌸🌼🌺
what a sweetie! you did good, mom and dad...and doctor and medical team!
What sweet people, it warms my heart to see such wonderfully good-hearted people. I’ve known people who returned their adopted child because they found out the child had some kind of minor health issues… sigh that poor child was so excited to be adopted and then to be treated that way. Thank goodness people like these exist. 🤍
Loving and lovely parents to that sweet girl. Best wishes for the future.
that is truly amazing what you guys did !
This is literally amazing
Omg she is so beautiful 😭💖
What a great story!! She is very special!
That doctor is a God send.
she is so adorable & sweet! ❤️
It brings up memories, its great to see how she is healing and is able to walk now! But why does it bring up memories? I have larsen syndrome, i was not born this way, the syndrome has a wide variety of symptoms. But my youngest sister was born this way, with her knees the wrong way and she got surgeries too. She still has the scars over her knees. The first moment my sister could walk without any holding on she was like 3 years old it was amazing to see. And to this day we struggle with our problems.
Nothing like lifting a box to learn you dislocated your elbow for a day, or not being able to walk due to this random out-of-nowhere knee pain, eh? I just ignore it till the next day as it usually sets itself right over night. I learned I have it after my son was born, both knees dislocated and bending upwards. I suspected and tried to get to genetics before as I always felt that this is a genetic condition, but nobody cared enough to evaluate. "We can't test for everything" was the last answer. After my son was born, becasue his changes were a bit more severe than mine, I knew that this is genetic. It took me 3 hours, 3 FUCKING HOURS in google to properly diagnose the condition - I printed out my evidence and gave it to genetics when we finally got an appointment for my son. And obviously I was right, Filiamin B mutation. Worst thing - through the whole pregnancy and ultrasounds they were saying everything is perfect and I've seen myself that oddly bending joints in my baby on the second scan we had.
All the best. 1 out of 100,000, lucky us.
Sooooo pleased for this lovely little girl, excellent result!
What a ray of sunshine she is. 😊
Omg , unbelievable story , a huge love to the parents and doctors you guys are like living God .
Wonderful story, long happy life to you all.
Hats off to the parents
She is so lucky I am so happy for her happy life
She’s so fucking adorable, oh my god!!🥺🥺❤️❤️
Loved this story
She's PRECIOUS!!🌹

Omg she is so stinkin cute! What an adorable little girl 💕
whoever gave a thumbs down must have clicked it by accident
There's a thumbs down? People have issues, you'd be shocked by how insecure people are, how bad they feel about themselves, how little they feel, the bitterness they hide in their hearts. These are the people giving the thumbs down. In their sick little minds it's equivalent to cutting the victor down to size, dimming their candle and strangely that makes them feel good about themselves, they find a false sense of "status" elevation in that. Their entire lives they live gauging people relative to their small "statuses". These are people who will never find happiness. People who need help

Hi, my name is Greg.
The muscles in my legs, wrist and hands atrophied in the Summer of 1976, when I was twelve (I'm now 59).
Over the next 47 year Drs. ruled out the following: MS, MD, Duchene, Kennedy's, CMT, HSP, FSP, and Silvers. There were probably more, but I can't remember them.
I was first seen, for a week of testing, by Dr. Jerry Mendell in Columbus, Ohio. This was in the summer of 1980. In the summer of 1984, I spent a week at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
For the past 20 years, I have seen Dr. John Fink at the University of Michigan. I see Doc every 12-18 months. This past year Dr. Fink again brought up the option of having gene sequencing done. This time we followed through and in December of 2022, we received the diagnosis of SORD Deficiency. It was nice to see the description of SORD's presentation. Finally, a disorder which nailed my personal experience.
Amazing and she is beautiful
Amazing!!
Congratulations!
