Floyd-Henry Morley from The Morleys on Vimeo.
Floyd - Henry Morley is a beautiful baby who is lucky to have brave parents: they have turned the diagnosis of growth disorder into an opportunity to show their environment (and the world) the love they feel for their child, and to teach anyone who wants to know how to overcome those problems that families must face.
Ross and Jade are first-time parents living in Australia, and after their birth they did the same thing as thousands of parents: spread the images of the baby, and proudly show the progress of a smiling and active toddler that dad and mom are full of attention, kisses and hugs. The video you just saw overflows love on all four sides, and seeing it we are sure that this couple will fight against the difficulties they encounter ... after all all parents do the impossible to help our children.
With only five months, doctors said that Floyd - Henry had achondroplasia: it is a growth disorder that we commonly know as dwarfism, and affects the long bones of the arms and legs, which do not grow at the same rate as the rest of the bones, causing a shorter stature.
But why see the negative side of things? One of the reasons Ross and Jade have to make their story known was to avoid hundreds of questions that they could ask, so their blog serves to share and how an opportunity to learn about this disorder.
It is true that achondroplasia can lead to other possible complications, but for now the baby is healthy, and will continue to grow older. In addition, their parents say it does not affect the development of intelligence, and they say with great conviction: since both are intelligent, it is foreseeable that his son will become a "little genius".
It seems that about one in 25,000 babies are born with this disorder, and although in a percentage of cases (around 20%) it is associated with genetics, it occurs more frequently in children born to parents with a medium height. Ross and Jade have already overcome the shock that caused them to know the opinion of the doctors, now they live day to day with the little one, and dream about their future.
