The story of Sandra
Our little boy Spencer was diagnosed at birth with saggital craniosynostosis and later on with hypochondroplasia. Craniosynostosis is when the sutures in the skull close prematurely affecting the growth of the brain. He had a full cranial vault remodel done at the young age of 16 months. Further investigations revealed that he also had a genetic mutation of the bone gene which lead him to being diagnosed with hypochondroplasia, a form of dwarfism. Spencer has taken all his operations in his stride, he attends Childcare 5 days a week and is so excited to be starting “big school” next year. He swims and plays soccer on a weekly basis and does everything a 4 year old can do. He amazes us with he get up and go attitude and his extraordinary big personality. He has a gorgeous smile and is loved by so many. He is our little man with a big heart.
