but wow at those pictures, watching the younger sister grow up while the older sister just stays the same. |
Wow, that's pretty mind blowing...
I can't even imagine what that would be like to live with. Of course, being that she has the brain capacity of a toddler, I bet she really doesn't understand it either... |
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. |
Wow thats crazy, I wonder if she suffers any. Like does she have any physical conditions at all or is she just like a normal toddler.
|
the curious case of brooke greenburg perhaps?

Brooke hasn't aged in the conventional sense. Dr. Richard Walker of the University of South Florida College of Medicine, in Tampa, says Brooke's body is not developing as a coordinated unit, but as independent parts that are out of sync.
so if parts of her are aging faster than others, could she end up with larger parts that won't quite fit and be all disfigured? i don't know if i feel worse for her or her family who has to take care of her and deal with her. |
Wow. Just wow.
|
wow, that is crazy. I have this on going joke with my husband and punk.of.ages about how I wish I could keep my daughter from getting older. Now seeing the reality of that, I would be scared to death if that happened to my babies. Not knowing how long she will live and not knowing what other health problems are bound to happen. Puts things in perspective.
