my nephew really got nerfed here by the genetics lottery. intolerances up the kazoo. boy cannot digest so many things. child you are only 3 years old please he is on so many supplements.
#this child has so many medical problems it is like he got whacked into shape by the syndromes hammer#doctors over here like 'wow so many unconnected issues at once amazing'#they did try putting all the pieces together to paint a nice picture of 'the syndrome'#but it turns out no he does not get one big problem#he just has like a dozen statistically unlikely issues all at the same time#they're showing us where he is on charts and#i am being dead serious when i say that in some cases they lift up the chart and then they point to a place#BELOW THE FUCKING CHART#and say 'he's down there in the negatives'#bro do not do this to us this child is 3 years old make your chart fucking bigger so he can be on it#his 'personal progress' charts are all on the paper tho thank god and tend to go up#kind of funny tho because he sees so many specialists and they are all like 'no! my treatment plan addresses the most serious issue!'#only person winning this fight without putting in any effort is cardio#nobody else has the guts to say 'gastro/nutrition/urology/neurology/endocrine/etc is more important than his fucking heart'#this boy born 2 lbs 4 oz and is still tiny as hell#doctors have gone nuts trying to test him for every kind of dwarfism known to man#there are more syndromes for being small than i knew existed and he has been fucking tested for all of them#like they are all a mix of intrigued and concerned about all his medical situations#which might not be one condition#and is possibly just like 12 conditions in a trench coat sneaking into the same baby#thankfully he's on great health insurance and welfare programs because whenever we need to like list the things about him#that would qualify him for the program/insurance#we just keep listing and listing until we either have no more room on the form#or the person helping us says we can stop he definitely qualifies#i did not win the genetic lottery either but i definitely spun for a higher number than my nephew#fortunately he is also like the happiest kid in existence. just like a genuine joy to be around#bounces back so fast from every setback#every doctor/nurse/therapist/teacher is just like 'he is...so good. i cannot...such a good boy'#and it's like i feel you. he obviously had to get something out of this deal and 'absolutely A+ personality and cuteness' was the exchange
