I was about to ask what she knows of her own condition, but after a re-read, it is apparent that she is not keenly aware (due to her mind perhaps aging in the same manner as her stature of that of a toddler).
I would've thought this was an amazing feat of weird science if she was over 50 years old, yet still maintained a facade of youthful appearance. I was a bit off-base in that the child has a slower metabolic aging process. Still extraordinary, though.
