Dwarfism Awareness - Types

Did you know their are over 300 types of dwarfism!

However, the majority of all people with dwarfism have achondroplasia

This is what type of dwarfism FeiFei has.

Her arms and legs are short but her torso is actually about normal length. 

 So she is much smaller than her peers until she sits down, then she is right on level with them!!

We THINK (after so many genetic tests we have lost count) that Brahm has 

Multiple Epiphyseal Dysplasia

It means he is much more proportionate than FeiFei

Although his head is large from front to back.

On his growth charts, his head has always been 50% 

and his height and weight are way below 3% (the bottom line)

Also his hip and knee joints are different.

They are supposed to look like 1/2 a basketball

Brahm's are short and jagged which causes him his pain.

Griffen, well his type of dwarfism is still up in the air.

We think he looks like he has achondroplasia BUT he has his extra thumbs,

AND there is a type called EVC or six fingered dwarfism LOL!

So we will see when we get our hands on that darling little angel!
