Tiny 31-inch boy with primordial dwarfism defies doctors - born different

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
A FIVE-YEAR-OLD boy with a rare form of dwarfism has defied doctors' predictions that he would never walk. Jonathan Kremer, from Hadamar, Germany, is one of only 200 people worldwide with Microcephalic Osteodysplastic Primordial Dwarfism Type 1 (MOPD1. Tiny Jonathan stands at only 80cm (31. 5 inches) tall and has the prominent eyes and nose characteristic of the condition. Doctors told Simone that he would never learn to crawl or walk or even reach his first birthday. But after connecting with specialists on MOPD1 from the Walking With Giants Foundation and learning more about the condition, Simone is now the founder of the 'Walking with Giants Germany', an organisation bringing together the families of those suffering from primordial dwarfism in Germany - and Jonathan is a happy little boy playing on his stroller and riding horses as part of his riding therapy

It's wonderful that Jonathan and his parents have Walking With Giants in their corner and as support system. It is so helpful to both children and parents of such special and unique primordial dwarf conditions so they don't feel alone in the world. Sadly, in the US, we have a discriminatory primordial group that picks and chooses who they accept into their closed group, Potentials Foundation. My two primordial dwarf daughters were rejected from Potentials Foundation over 10 years ago due to their discriminatory practices. Shameful and shame on them. One of my daughters has since passed, never being able to be accepted into PF and therefore unable to be a part of a minute group of unique and rare PD young ones.
As Dr Bober said, it's great that support groups have been formed. He too, Dr Bober, stated he was surprised that Potential Foundation rejected my daughters; Kristy, 18 lbs. 32- tall and Amber 36 lbs. and 43- tall.

Jonathan is very cute. Such a sweet smile. I am sorry there is so much work for the parents to do - keeping up with medications must be a lot of work. If I was a neighbor I would offer to take a block of time during the day to give parents free time.

As a father with a child with MOPD 1 You must not treat him
As a 1 year old. I am only tryin to help. He will develop quicker if we treat our children as close to the age they are. The pacifier is a NISH NISH

Jonathan is amazing the way he is! -He only exists one time like everybody on this planet-I wish Jonathan and the whole family a lot of strength and hope--and i really like the tattoo-#sunriseavenue#samuhaber--

Regardless of him having a disability I believe his parents are doing him a major disservice by treating him like a little baby. He shouldn-t be using a pacifier or be in
A crib

He is so cute! He has a really good dad too! Moms are moms but it takes a special guy to be a really good dad. Staying optimistic helps more than people know!

Good thing he lives in Germany. In some countries he would have been considered to be under the influence of evil spirits!
