“On a cellular level, Kai’s muscle fibers are misshapen which impacts the way she can contract her muscles, which ultimately leads to severe muscle weakness from head to toe. It takes fifty-two muscle pairs to swallow, so Kai is not able to swallow; the secretions impact her eating and respiratory function.” Kate shares.
Get ready to hear from Kai's parents, Kate and Drew Livingstone, on the latest episode of the Go Shout Love podcast! They'll be sharing their journey with Nemaline Rod Myopathy, so be sure to subscribe to our podcast -
When Madison reached five months old, her doctors grew concerned that she wasn't growing or measuring on the growth chart, her forehead was misshaping, and she had scoliosis with a 45-degree curve in her spine. With loose joints and everything clicking and popping out of place, Madison was sent to Standford for more testing.
A complete head-to-toe skeletal survey showed that along with having flatter bones, both of Madison’s elbows were dislocated, her shoulders weren’t ossifying and she had abnormalities in her pelvis, known as trident acetabulum, which is an indication of skeletal dysplasia.
And so, the family was referred to genetics with the hope for more concrete answers. -
