For a parent, the worst thing to experience is helplessly seeing their child suffer. It had only been days since she came into this world but yet she had to undergo a couple of complicated surgeries. It was the only way out to treat and cure the problem associated with the baby’s legs, but thank god, the baby didn’t suffer from any sort of pain. However, she wanted to know what exactly was up with her child and she dived in right away so as to get the desired answers.

Tough Road AheadTough Road Ahead

There’s nothing you can tell a parent to comfort them whose child is to undergo a surgery or an underlying medical condition and that too at such a tender age. There wasn’t much that anyone could have done or said to make her mother feel any better. No matter how tough the times were she knew she had to stay strong. She made a promise to herself that she would stand by her daughter and won’t leave her side for a second throughout this tough journey, and all thanks to their willpower and fighting spirit, everything ended on a good note.

The Sky’s The LimitThe Sky's The Limit

The visits to the doctor’s office were quite frequent and they had lost count of how many times they had been there. It almost became a daily thing. They were having a tough time keeping it all together. While they were already suffering emotionally, they often had to take off from work which was not very convenient for them to do. It came to a point where their jobs were not even secure anymore and moreover they were having a hard time paying the expenses for the visits to the doctor and the expensive medication that followed. But against all the odds, the couple fought for their kid till the very end and eventually it paid off.

Diagnosis

They had now come to know what they and their little girl had been dealing with. It was diagnosed that the little girl had fallen victim to a genetic disorder named Larsen syndrome, a disorder that affects every 1 in 1,000 people. Moreover, it can further cause other disorders like hammer toe in some kids. But that wasn’t the case with this kid, in fact, she had suffered other major deformities that can adversely affect one’s growth and physical movement. They were devastated to know how much trouble their little girl had to face at such age as she was only a newborn.

She was broken by the doctor’s words and it had left her in abject misery. She was feeling hopeless to the point where she could see all the plan she had for her daughter crashing in front of her eyes. She thought to herself that her little angel would never get to play outdoors along with other kids of her age. A million thoughts raced through the mother’s head. What would her childhood and the rest of her life be like? Would she ever be able to ride a bicycle? All the dreams that a parent sees and eventually lives like holding their kid’s finger and teaching them how to walk and ride a bicycle seemed impossible to her and she was gutted by it.

Side Effects


Although it was quite difficult at that point to make an exact prognosis things didn’t seem too good for the little girl. There’s a lot of damage this syndrome can cause to the bones including its development but that isn’t the only deformity or say the worst case scenario kids with Larsen Syndrome are affected with. There’s an abundance of other similar symptoms that are hard to differentiate which made her think what the future would be like for her girl.
