The story of Keidi
Hi my name is Keidi and this is my story with Multiple Hereditary Exotoses. (MHE)
It all started when I was 2 when my mom started to notice bumps all down my spine. When my mom took me to my pediatrician, they didn’t know what it was so they transferred me to a different hospital who diagnosed me with MHE. MHE is when bone tumors grow outward from metaphysics of long bones throughout the the body. The only thing they can do is carve off the bumps that bug you.
 When I was 8 I had my first surgery in my left lower arm when they removed the whole bone and put a fake one in kept in place with 2 screws nails. After 6 month my arm was back to normal.
My latest surgery was in October 2018 where I had 2 bumps removed one on my right shoulder and the other one on my right leg. I also had 2 growth plates put in my left knee cap because my left leg was longer than my right leg because a bump impacted my growing.
I am now 14 years old and going for another surgery in the next 2 months or so to take out the 2 growth plates so my left leg can continue to grow evenly with my right leg.
I also started to do sports and it is very hard and painful but despite all the pain and disadvantages I have, I still manage to pull through for my team.
