Doctors Warned Them Not To Have A Child But They Didn’t Listen. What Happened Next Shocked The World

Published

Charlie and Colin Morgan were a happy couple from Sydney, Australia, but both of them suffered from a condition known as dwarfism. They wanted to start a family and have children, but doctors warned them against it as their condition might cause complications. They didn’t take medical advice and conceived a child, but what happened next shocked not only the doctors, Charlie, and Colin, but the rest of the world.

Charlie and Colin were the perfect couple, and they lived a happy life together in a beautiful suburb in Sydney, Australia. They shared a lot of the same interests and had a lot in common. When they first met during their time at college, they hit it off almost immediately. Once they started chatting, they found out that they got along naturally, and it wasn’t long before the two became an item…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

However, both Charlie and Colin were suffering from dwarfism. Charlie suffered from a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia. This is a genetic condition that affects a protein in the body called the fibroblast growth factor receptor. With this particular protein functioning abnormally, it drastically slows down the growth of bones and cartilage. Luckily, people who have the achondroplasia form of dwarfism can live long, normal, and happy lives with only delayed and stunted development during their infancy.

On the other hand, Colin suffered from a form of dwarfism called gephyrosic dysplasia. This is a rarer and more serious form that affects many parts of the body. It most commonly affects the bones, joints, heart, and skin, and it is a progressive condition, meaning it continues developing throughout the person’s life. Because it affects the heart and the lungs, around a third of the babies suffering from gephyrosic dysplasia die before the age of five. Luckily, if you make it past that point, you’re relatively in the clear. Colin was one of the lucky ones.

This is the long-winded way of saying that these two star-crossed lovers had underlying medical issues that they had to deal with, and that’s before we even get to the social issues. People would mock them and laugh at them, making fun of their small stature and calling them all kinds of mean and hurtful names. Thankfully, both Charlie and Colin were thick-skinned and didn’t let such abuse get to them. So strong was their relationship that they decided they wanted to start a family. They had been married for several years by that point and owned their own home, so having a child was the next natural step.

However, despite their best efforts, they were struggling to conceive. The miracle of life is still largely a mystery, and even though there was nothing wrong with Charlie’s eggs or Colin’s sperm, the goal of falling pregnant still eluded them. The pair decided that they should check in with their doctor; perhaps he would be able to run some tests or give them some hints and tips on how to successfully conceive a child. But when they arrived at the hospital, they were not expecting the news that they were given.

 

The doctor strongly advised against the pair having children. He had strong reservations about the safety and health of the child. If two people with dwarfism conceived a child, there is a strong chance that the baby would inherit the condition from one or both of the parents. If they got a double dose of the dwarfism gene, then the likelihood of stillbirth was massively increased.

It was a serious risk that Charlie and Colin needed to think about. Doctors advised that if they conceived and the child died in the womb, the consequences could be fatal for Charlie. There were always inherent risks when someone with dwarfism became pregnant, and it was a doctor’s job to try to protect life rather than put it in danger. They wouldn’t have been doing their jobs correctly if they had allowed Charlie and Colin to continue trying to conceive without being fully informed of what could potentially go wrong.

Still, there was hope. The child might only inherit the dwarfism gene from one of the parents. In fact, there was around a 25% chance that it wouldn’t inherit it at all and that they would produce an average baby that would grow like someone without dwarfism. It was a game of numbers, a game of chance, and a game of risk.

 

Before long, though, Charlie discovered that she was, in fact, pregnant. The couple had largely stopped trying, so the news was a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. The pregnancy went without a hitch, and Charlie eventually gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Tilda, who inherited achondroplasia, her mother’s form of dwarfism. Less than two years later, the couple had their second child, another girl they named Tully. She also inherited achondroplasia from her mother.

After Tilda and Tully were born, Charlie set up an Instagram account. On it, she shared photos, videos, and stories about her family’s life. People from around the world took a great interest in this family of people who were all suffering from dwarfism, and it wasn’t long before Charlie had amassed hundreds of thousands of followers. The followers all supported her and praised the family for being so strong and open. In return, Charlie would open up her family’s life and share intimate details of how the family felt and coped.

In one of her posts, Charlie candidly wrote, “One of the most difficult times for me was Christmas 2018. It was a period of pressure and prostration. I had postpartum exhaustion and lived on less than four hours of sleep per night for almost a year. I went back to work when Tully was only four months old, and it was very difficult for me. All this time, Colin and I didn’t exist as a couple or even as humans; we were just the parents.”

 

But things weren’t always so bad. In another post, she wrote, “It’s a continuous series of emotions, moments of exaggerated love and happiness, as well as a desire to have ten more children, one after another. It doesn’t matter how your week went, even if it seems that you made a mistake with someone or something. You should know it’s not true. You didn’t make a mistake; you’re doing your best. No one will ever be a better mother for your children than you are. Nothing gives me more confidence in life than my children.

Buoyed by the warm response from the legion of followers and supporters, Charlie and Colin once again tried for another child, eventually conceiving and, of course, sharing the news on social media. They documented the highs and lows of the pregnancy, but there was one big twist that no one could have ever predicted, something that left Charlie, Colin, and their many supporters and followers from around the world shocked beyond all belief. The third child was miraculously completely free of dwarfism.

He had not inherited the dwarfism gene from either his mother or his father. That meant that, despite all the odds, the third and final child was completely healthy and would grow up to be a normal height. He would one day tower over his parents.

 

Everyone was shocked by the news, with many believing it to be a miracle. The odds were very much stacked against Charlie and Colin, but despite that, they had given birth to not one but three amazing children. Doctors ran all kinds of tests and checks, but they soon confirmed it: the third child had no trace of the dwarfism gene in his body.

The chances of the child avoiding the gene were incredible, and medical staff were shaken by this development. They had initially criticized Charlie and Colin for proceeding to have children, but they had quickly been proven wrong.

“I’ve coped with the criticism for choosing to have babies with these odds of them having dwarfism, but that’s a whole conversation in itself,” said Charlie via her social media channels. “I just want to say that bringing a child into the world with my odds is no simple decision.

Despite what people told them and against medical advice, Charlie and Colin had not only had two healthy children with dwarfism but also a perfectly healthy child untouched by the condition. The chances of that happening were slim, but they managed to pull it off. It just goes to show that even though the odds may be heavily stacked against you, the chances of complete failure are very rarely zero.

 

So now it’s over to you. What did you think of this amazing story? How would you have felt if you were in Charlie and Colin’s shoes, with doctors strongly advising against you having children?

Even if you generally understand that the foods you eat directly affect your well-being, have you ever wondered why that is? According to doctors, it comes down to metabolism, which refers to all of the chemical reactions that occur in your body.

There are many factors that affect your metabolic health. This includes family history and genetics, which you can’t do anything about. But other aspects can be modified, making it possible to influence your metabolic health and keep long-term health issues at bay.

This man reportedly had trouble going to the bathroom since he was born. The unnamed 22-year-old man from China had 30 inches of his enlarged b0wel removed by surgeons at the People’s Hospital. He reportedly suffered from Hirschprung’s Illness for 22 years…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

He can just pass a really percentage of stool at a time and the rest of it began to develop and get stuck inside his intestinal tracts. Hirschsprung’s Illness impacts the colon or big intestinal tract. This condition makes it challenging for a private to have routine defe-ation. This illness begins with birth and regrettably, the person needs to cope with it for the rest of his/her life.

Dr. Rosenfield described that this client started to look “pregnant.” The client was unable to get the appropriate treatment for this long and his f-ces simply continues to support inside him and made his life unpleasant. The man ultimately required to go through surgical treatment and the medical professionals were stunned by what they took out of his body! After 22 years, the medical professionals had the ability to get rid of 30lbs of supported waste inside the guy’s system. After the effective surgical treatment, the male was 30lbs lighter.

The physicians discussed that he was fortunate that this develop did not trigger his c0lon to burst. If it did, it might have triggered his life. Doctors said the man looked like he was nine months pregnant because of the painful enlargement and f-ces backup.

The medical experts believe he had been constipated for years and looked ‘like he was about to explode.’ The patient said he had always suffered from c0nstipation and used laxatives, but those only offered a brief relief, according to The Daily Mail. Dear readers, we are republishing this story to raise awareness about the Hirschprung’s Illness.

Sexuality can be exciting and also embarrassing for teens. Even when they are curious to learn all there is to know about the subject, few really want to sit down and have this awkward conversation with their parents.

Girls have a greater concern about their period. Girls don’t want to be the first or last to receive it. And when they do, they’re usually scared that the bleeding will seep into their clothes, which will lead to everyone knowing that
this time of the month has come.

Unfortunately, for one young girl, this is exactly what happened. While on her way home on the bus from school, a red stain appeared on her pants. Unfortunately, she was not the only one who noticed it…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Several children on the bus saw the stain and the young girl got extremely embarrassed.

As we all know, children and teenagers can be cruel and vicious in such situations, so when an older boy on the bus suddenly approached her, the girl was prepared for a joke or a disgusting remark.

But instead of laughing at her, he said something that led the girl’s mother to share the story on social media.

The boy saw what had happened and decided to approach the girl. But he was not there to embarrass her any further – quite the contrary. He offered her his shirt so she could tie it around her waist. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The girl’s mother praised the boy

The girl’s mother praised not only the boy for his wonderful gesture, but also his mother for raising and educating her son to be such a good person.

We hear a lot of negative stories about teens today so hearing something so positive is really wonderful.

After the mother posted

We can only agree. We think few teens would dare approach someone who was sitting and feeling embarrassed while others laughed and did nothing.

Feel free to share this story with your Facebook friends to make a tribute to this boy for the wonderful thing he did. There is no doubt that he will be even more of a gentleman as he grows and matures!

Man Whispers To His Comatose Wife, But She Could Hear Every Word

After being found unconscious in her home, a woman fell into a coma. As the plug was pulled on her life support, her husband leaned down and whispered the truth in her ear. Little did he know, she could hear every word and was about to fight back.

Lyndee Brown Pellettiere-Swapp was only 45 years old when her son Steven found her unconscious in their Arizona home. He immediately called 911, and Lyndee was rushed to Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center. For five days, Lyndee suffered seizures and eventually fell into a coma, where she remained for 12 days, according to Mirror.

Lyndee’s husband Steve, daughter Amanda, and son Steven hoped for a miracle, but doctors said there was nothing more they could do and recommended taking Lyndee off life support. The tough decision was made to pull the plug, honoring what the family thought was Lyndee’s wishes. “My family knows I am an avid organ donor so when my organs started to fail, they made the decision — it was time to make that decision,” Lyndee would later explain…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

As Lyndee’s family came to say their goodbyes, little did her family know, Lyndee heard every word. “I remember people talking to me,” Lyndee recalled. “I remember when people came to visit, my niece reading to me.” She also remembered the doctors talking about her impending demise, telling the family what to expect as she inevitably passed away.

“[Doctors] told [my family] that I would start to make noises when they turned off life support. It was very agitating. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t talk, couldn’t respond. I could just hear conversations around me and about me,” Lyndee said. “I remember a doctor opening my eyes, messing with me, and telling my family I was not reacting.”

Lyndee knew she had to speak up in order to save her own life, but she tried and failed. “In my head, it was very clear what I was saying, but it wasn’t to them,” she explained. Then, she found all the motivation she needed in the words her husband leaned down and whispered in her ear, thinking she was about to leave this life.

“They removed all tubes as he requested,” she recalled, adding that a doctor was waiting to “pronounce her dead” while an organ donation team was on standby, ready to take her organs. But, her husband Steve wasn’t ready for his wife to leave him. In a whisper, Steve pleaded with Lyndee, reminding her of a reality she was about to make everyone else aware of.

After 12 days in a coma, Lyndee woke up, uttering three words that surprised her entire family. “I’m a fighter,” she managed to respond after Steve had spoken that very truth in her ear. “I was finally able to get out ‘I’m a fighter,’ which is what my husband was whispering in my ear,” Lyndee said, recalling the moment she woke up from her coma after being taken off life support, according to Daily Mail. “[He kept saying] ‘I need you to fight.’” READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Stunned, Steve quickly went to get the doctor. “My husband said, ‘She is doing everything you said she wouldn’t do,’” Lyndee recalled. Indeed, against all odds and medical predictions, Lyndee was back, awake, and responding, AZ Family reported. But, not realizing what was happening, Amanda came to the hospital, thinking her mother was gone.

“I looked at her, and she just says, ‘Hi,’ and I just fell to my knees,” Amanda recalled tearfully, describing how she melted down after receiving the shock of her life. Lyndee eventually left the hospital, but she wasn’t out of the woods. Despite her amazing recovery, she suffered a number of health problems and complications.

Lyndee even had to learn to walk and feed herself again. “They released me with home healthcare to continue learning everything,” she said. She also required numerous follow-up surgeries and hospitalizations, and she suffered PTSD from the experience.

Almost two years later, Lyndee Brown Pellettiere-Swapp still had “no answers” as to why she first fell unconscious or how she made such a recovery. But, there was one thing she was certain of that she needed others to know too. “Just because you are not conscious does not mean you cannot hear,” she said. “So you should talk to your loved ones if you are in that situation. They hear you.”

The experience also left her family with an important message for others too. “Everything can be taken away. You can wake up one day and everything is fine, and then your life is a mess,” Lyndee’s son Steven said. “Keep your family close and don’t let them go,” he added.

“I don’t take for granted that I get to come home and kiss my mom,” Steven continued. “Every day I come home from work, seeing her and talking to her.” Go hug your loved ones, and remind others to do the same because you never know when it could be your last chance.
