Thanks for sharing. I saw a documentary on her on TLC and it was really interesting, I recommend it. It's amazing some of the things she's been through.

I saw the documentary too.
Although, this quote irritated me: "Brooke's mother, Melanie Greenberg, 48, sees a different picture. "She loves to shop," Greenberg said. "Just like a woman.""

I saw the documentary too. Very interesting.
It's called Child Frozen in Time in case anyone is interested if they ever see it in the TV listings.

I'm gonna have to take a look at that documentary. It sounds cool (medically), but sad.
What would a parent do with a kid like that when they die?

That's a good point, Mark. I mean, they're already in their 50s basically. Who knows what'll happen, I just hope they're able to diagnose her at some point.

Even if they diagnose her, what then? Growth Hormones don't work, so what then?
Man, I'd be the worst doctor ever.

Haha, well, medical school usually helps in that department.
I'm not sure what they would do... but I have a feeling that if they are able to diagnose her, they might have some idea of how to approach it and treat the anomaly. It's most likely some kind of genetic screw up with her DNA. |
