When he was born, he was diagnosed with diastrophic dwarfism, a very disabling condition, and his parents were told that he would never walk, he would never talk, he would have no intellectual capacity, and he would probably not even recognize them.
태어났을 때 그는 변형성소인증 진단을 받았습니다. 이는 매우 심한 장애여서 그의 부모는 아이가  앞으로 걷지도 말하지도 못할 것이며 지적인 능력도 없을 것이고, 부모를 알아보지조차 못할것이라는  통보를 받았지요.
