Every year, at midnight on October 3, Camden’s parents will post a video wishing their son a happy birthday. Looking at the boy in the video, he has a radiant face and a bright smile even though he has no limbs.
Ignoring his own shortcomings, Camden, like many other children, is very mischievous, hyperactive and always curious about the world around him. The boy can even feed himself and take care of his younger brother for his mother. In particular, the boy also plays the piano very well.
It is known that Camden suffers from phocomelia syndrome, which is a birth defect affecting the limbs, also known as “seal limb disease”. If all limbs are affected, it is called tetra-phocomelia, the limbs are shortened due to missing or underdeveloped bones.
Before Camden was born, doctors also confirmed that the boy could die before or shortly after birth.
At that time, the boy’s mother, Katie, told the doctor: ” Even though he has no limbs, he is still my child. Even though fate has arranged for him to not have a normal body, I still love him.” it’s a lot “.
After Camden was born, Katie did not consider him a disabled child but treated him very normally. She instructed the boy to do everything himself without asking for help from others. That’s why the boy has never had low self-esteem, on the contrary, he is always optimistic, kind and lives a very positive life.
If you were Katie, how many people would be brave enough to give birth to Camden and raise him like that? When you discover that your child is unlucky enough to have a deformity, making the decision to keep or give up the child is really difficult. Therefore, it can be seen that everything Katie does for her son is truly great.
During pregnancy, doctors advise pregnant mothers to pay attention to the following:
– Before deciding to have children, parents should prepare mentally and financially.
– Regular prenatal check-ups are very important in early detection of fetal defects, thereby providing appropriate solutions.
– If unfortunately there is any problem with the fetus, in the worst case if the baby cannot be kept, the mother should not feel too guilty and sad, it is not your fault.
– When you discover that your child has a deformity but still decide to give birth to it, you need to prepare mentally firmly, don’t give up because besides the mother, the child has no other support. The journey of caring for and raising a child with a disability will probably be much more difficult, but sweet fruits will definitely come later if you persevere.
