Born Different

I saw a preview on Astro the other day with title 'Born Different'. I'm so touched by the documentary. I felt really blessed to be born a normal person. ok ! enough bout me. I want to talk about them ! :))


                                    Littlest Angle

Kenadie Jourdin-Bromley, known around the world as "the littlest angel", was born Feb.13, 2003, weighing just 2 lbs, 8 ounces. Doctors were at a loss as to why she was born so small and told her parents this little miracle baby likely wouldn't live through the night. But she did.  She continued to defy doctors expectations and at the age of 8 months, Kenadie was finally diagnosed with primordial dwarfism, a genetic condition that is believed to affect only about 100 people in the world. She isn't expected to grow past about 30 inches or weigh more than 8 pounds. 

But from the day Kenadie was born her parents, Brianne Jourdin and Court Bromley, refused to give up. As they say, "We loved life right into her." Indeed, they did.  Now 5 years old, Kenadie now walks, runs, laughs, smiles and is beginning to talk. But, perhaps more importantly, it's the way Kenadie makes people feel that is her strongest achievement. Those who come into contact with her invariably believe that they have been touched by God, that somehow this little angel has touched their soul.  She may be small but no one would argue that this little girl has an enormous effect on people throughout the world. she's cute rite !

The Treeman  

     

           

Dede Koswara, known in his native Indonesia as "Tree Man," has lived for 20 years with rapidly spreading warts that have covered his entire body in a case that has baffled doctors. It was concluded that his affliction is caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), a fairly common infection that usually causes small warts to develop on sufferers. Approximately 20 million Americans live with, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, some without even knowing it. However in Dede's case, he has a rare genetic fault that impedes his immune system, meaning his body is unable to contain the warts. Thus, a common disease with uncommon results.  I've seen many men. Batman, Spiderman, Ironman, Supermen, Cicakman, Keluangman and etc. but TREEMAN ! it's a new thing for me! weird.

ok ! the disease that stated above I also don't even know. i failed in my BIO ok ! i just copy and paste these articles from the net. so, if you wanna know more, just goggle it. :)
