From the moment Michelle heard the nurses whispering after the birth of her son, Chad, she knew something was wrong.
Leading up to that day in the delivery room, she had no reason to think anything was other than perfect. Even when she finally laid eyes on her newborn son, perfect was all that came to mind.
She noticed that his arms and legs were contracted, tucked into his body and keeping him in the fetal position, but that’s not all she saw.
She saw his small whisps of hair, his delicate eyelashes, and a son she already loved unconditionally.
Michelle would later learn that Chad was born with a rare condition called Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC), which causes painful joint contractures and stiffness with muscle weakness.
