We love ALL of our patients. However, every now and then we meet a child that has something extra special. Charlie is one of those children. Read below to hear what her mom, Jessica has to say and join us in support of Dwarfism Awareness on October 25th! 

Prior to having our daughter Charlie, October was just another month noted for the cooler weather, flannel shirts and pumpkin spiced everything. Now, October has a very special place in our hearts for celebration and recognition. ​October is Dwarfism awareness month and our daughter Charlie was born with Achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. As average size people, my husband and I had no idea what to expect with a daughter with dwarfism. 1 in every 10,000 babies are born with some form of dwarfism, although each case is unique. No doctor could tell us exactly what she would develop like. 80% of people born with dwarfism have average size parents, like my husband and I, so I knew we weren't alone. 

Now, at three years old, Charlie may be small in stature but she more than makes up for it with her enormous personality. She stands at almost half the size of other children her age. However, she still loves running around Disney World, singing along with the Frozen soundtrack and mothering her plethora of baby dolls. Like all little people, size doesn't slow her down or hold her back!

  Peter Dinklage, most noted for playing Tyrion Lannister on Game of Thrones, also has dwarfism. I recently saw a quote from him that broke my heart. It read, "Dwarves are still the butt of jokes. It's one of the last bastions of acceptable prejudice." While I don't enjoy  hearing that, I know that it's true. There are constant reminders in today's onslaught of social media that prove not everyone is as informed or considerate of other's differences as we are. I wasn't this informed three years ago. With my love for my daughter, I now have a huge reason to advocate for all little people, and I want to help make others aware of how to properly treat Little People; treat them like everyone else. Use their names. Treat them with respect. Understand that they too have feelings, and find your grace and humanity when speaking to or about Little People. Common sense really, but Charlie, along with other little people, garner stares and remarks about  their size every day. 
I'll climb off my soap box now, October is a month for love. We support the Little People community this month, especially on October 25th, by wearing GREEN. We would love everyone in our community to support Charlie and all Little People by wearing green, taking pictures of yourself and posting to social media. Be the change you want to see in the world; help make this world more accepting of others. ~ Jessica Thompson, New Smyrna Beach
