Spin Off My Other Posts --- About Birth Defects...

For those of you who asked if I were a dwarf, what about my appearance made you think so?  I'm not trying to start drama, just really curious?

I didn't see your other posts, but I am always interested in learning about different types of birth defects and genetic disorders and similar things.

Do you have any?  I have cleft lip and palate, and was born with 3 toes on each foot and I had 3 holes in my heart.

I missed the other post, but to me, you don't look like you have dwarfism

I don't have any personally, but 2 of my children did.  I actually did a post about birth defects earlier.  I thought it looked like you had "cleft" surgery when I had seen you in pics before, but I didn't think much of it.  Most of those times the surgeries happen when kids are young and there are so many kids that have it.

The 3 toes thing is kind of interesting.  Is it because some of the toes are fused together or is it something totally different?  At least it is symmetrical. A lot of people that have asymmetrical birth defects have some really serious issues that accompany it.

Did you have to have any heart surgeries?  Were the holes VSD's or ASD's or both?

Here is a link to my post I made earlier and it goes into detail about my children's medical conditions.

On my left foot I just have three single toes.  The right foot I have my big toe then the middle one is a fused one with 2 toe nails and then I have a little toe that's by itself.

The heart thing I'm not exactly sure.

Is your short stature caused by a diagnosed medical condition?  One of my sons has ideopathic short stature meaning they really don't know what caused it exactly.  He stopped growing at 3 years old.  His projected adult height was 3'6".  Luckily, growth hormone happens to work for him even though he does not have growth hormone deficiency.  So, he is going to make it over 5'.  He was so happy the day he made it over 4'10" and knew that he would not be considered a "little person".  I have a friend that is 4'8".

Nope no diagnosed condition for me being short.  I just am I guess.  My dad is 5'10, my mom's 5'8 and all my sisters are taller then 5'0
