Brock’s parents noticed that he was growing at an unusually fast rate. When he started kindergarten, he was much taller and heavier than his classmates. He also had difficulty playing with the other children and completing basic tasks.
Brock’s mother, Darcy, was concerned about his rapid growth and took him to see the doctor. He was diagnosed with Sotos Syndrome, a rare condition that causes excessive growth and development.
Sotos Syndrome is characterized by a disproportionately large head, large hands and feet, and delayed mental and motor development. People with Sotos Syndrome typically grow very quickly during the first few years of life and then continue to grow at a faster rate than their peers throughout their lifetime.
Darcy was worried about Brock’s health and future. She didn’t know how much he would grow or if he would ever stop. However, she determined to give Brock the best life possible.
Darcy learned as much as she could about Sotos Syndrome and found a support group for families of children with the condition. She also enrolled Brock in special education programs to help him with his developmental delays.
Despite his challenges, Brock has thrived. He is a happy and loving child who enjoys spending time with his family and friends. He is also a talented athlete and enjoys playing sports.
Brock’s story is an inspiration to us all. He shows us that even with a rare and challenging condition, it is possible to live a full and happy life.
