Hi, My kids r normal stature. I have a almost 2 yr old and a 7 month
old both boys. I am a achon and growing up it was hard from time to
time. But now being 20 yrs old with 2 kids i either ignore it or say
something back to them. Last night i was in the store and a guy
walked in and started laughing at me. I looked at the guy and laughed
myself. He had mud from head to toe all over his clothes and he was
an adult.I did say duh to him because i was very very agravated. When
kids do it it is one thing but when an adult does it to me that is
very very childish. If you have any questions about achon i can help
as much as i can. E-mail me at LDEMING@...
I wish you the best of luck with your birth. Being pregnant and being
told your child could have something could be very very scary. I was
told my son had pulmonary stenosis and they didn't know if he would
be able to live outside the uterus. I was also told he could be down
sindrome. Then is was told he has spinal bifida. Needless to say I
was scared reall really bad. Well when my youngest came out he has
pulmoary stenosis witch is a heart problem and has a whole in one on
his valves in his heart. Please e-mail me i will help as much as i
can--- In achondroplastic_dwarfism@yahoogroups.com, "Michelle"
