Check out the site http://www.primordialdwarfism.com ; but for

convenience here is what was said on the site re: :

_________________________________________________________

Hi Everyone,

My name is (Trish) ez (used to be Mayhugh). My

daughter's name is Mayhugh. She is 22 1/2 years old, has a

permanent tracheostomy, and has been diagnosed as having Seckel's

Syndrome with a later diagnosis of Osteodysplastic Primordial Type II

of Majewski. She has had Herrington Rod surgery for Scoliosis at age

9 and is now 30 inches tall and weighs approx. 27 lbs. She graduated

from High School with honors in " 97 " , even though she did use the

resource program in school and had a full time health aide that

attended with her. (So much for the " she will be a vegetable and will

never develop " , garbage that we were told at 2 weeks of age).

She is now attending a Jr. College here in Livermore, CA. She is

taking several resource classes and volunteering at her chuch 2 days

a week. She still has some problems with long term memory , her voice

is still hard at times to understand due to the high pitch and the

trach tube, her spelling in simply awful, and she is waiting for hip

replacement surgery, but all in all, she is a great person!

She has recently moved to her father's home and is not yet on the

internet, but I am curious to know if there are any of you who have

older young adults who are as small , or nearly as small as she is. I

am sure she would love to hear from them as she has always been the

oldest of the group of kids with her diagnosis. We have been in touch

with a couple of older people, but no one with either her exact

diagnosis, or her extremely small stature. We have attended a few of

the conventions, but there never seems to be anyone she can really

relate to....Most of the other 'Little People " tend to treat her as

an oddity since she is so much smaller than most of them and she has

never quite felt like she really " fit in " , though she does enjoy a

good party! LOL

I know I have had mail from a few of you in the past and I am sorry

if I never answered your mail. We have gone through about 10 years of

turmoil here and finally seem to be settling down to more normal

lives.

I also have a 17 year old average size son named .

It's nice to know that there are others out there and I am really

glad that most of you have found each other when your kids are really

young! Wish there had been more of a support system when Steph was

growing up! Nice to be in touch! Take Care!
