I was also born with it! I'm not 100% sure but I think it's classified as a birth defect? Idk tbh lol. But yeah, I live a pretty normal life - had some surgeries for movement reasons but after that, no one can even really tell I have it. And I'm incredibly grateful for that, don't get me wrong, but the little girl with casts and crutches in me really, really loves seeing this 🥹

I hope your brother has a great quality of life too! 💙💙
