This 8 Year Old Girl Has Hardly Grown Since She Was Born | My 40 Year Old Child

Gabby is 8 years old, but is the size of a newborn baby, as well as being partially blind, and unable to talk. Her family are trying to find the cause of her mysterious and extremely rare condition.

"She's small but she's still a girl."
I love that her sisters treat her like a girl and not a baby. They are all so wonderful.

We stan a family that treats their disabled family member like a normal person (aside from the necessary health exceptions, of course)

Gabby is not alone. There are other people like her. Legally I'm a 50 year old man. But physically and mentally I'm 12 year old boy. I grow up 5 times slower than other people. My parents take care of me. Without them I'm helpless.

Bless her heart, she’s trapped in a body where no one understands her. She deserves the amazing family she’s in I hope she lives the rest of her life with them 🥰☺️

The dad is honestly amazing. Yes, her siblings and mother are also warm hearted but her dad is adorable. He really stood out to me. He just makes her feel like she’s any other girl. He paints her nails, holds her while cooking and basically does whatever makes her comfortable and happy. His so cute.

To everybody who say they were scared when Gaby’s mom was dressing her and bopping her head around: Gaby still has head support, she’s seen holding her own head up throughout the video. Secondly, that’s her mommy. She’s been with her since the day she was born. In addition to this, she has all of Gaby’s siblings. I’m pretty sure she knows how to dress the kid. Keep in mind, her mom has spent 8 years with Gaby. We spent only 7 minutes with her over the course of this video. Gaby looks so happy and taken care of. Please don’t be alarmed. These are some of the most delightful parents I have ever seen.

I absolutely love that the whole family still treats her as a child not a baby, sadly most of disabled kids aren't treated after their age, more like a doll you know? But seeing them handling this so well restored my faith in humanity. Awesome family

I love that the older sister/sibling is so kind and helps her mom give gabby medicine whenever she needs it.

[michelelindsey]

I love how they include gabby in everything they do some people would just put her in a room somewhere. What amazing family this is god bless them

My neighbor had a son with this exact disability. Last time I heard he was now nearly 20 and still appears to be an infant

[josiebutler]

I love the fact that this family treats her like she’s an 8 year old instead of a baby.

[quinlan]

What if she's got the mind of an 11 year old but is trapped in her body... can't speak, see or communicate. That's terrifying

[dayannarodriguez]

Can we just appreciate how amazing her dad is and she's different from some of us but she's still smart, beautiful, and a human that is just unique

[taylorlopez]

sometimes it looks like she is trying to smile. She is so adorable

[tonyping]

Her family is so supportive of Gabby! They make her feel just as welcome and present like all the other eight-year-old girls. She also seems really bright and engaging trying to do her best with the support of her mum and dad trying to give her the same opportunities like the other girls her age. This really warms my heart and I hope that her condition improves in the future! All the best❤️

Do you realize that your infant son in the background is playing on those stairs with very little supervision if any. He could seriously hurt himself, break his neck, or worse! I pray that that was just an oversight, maybe because you were doing the show, the interview. No one has to tell you how precious our babies are, at any age. I applaud you for how well you take care of your little girl.

I cannot be the only one that thinks she looks like a itty bitty Cindy Lou Who...what a cutie! God bless her x

[izzymunnik]

Omg this is so sad yet cool the family isn't complaining neither is the siblings and they r even treating her like a 8 year old its amazing!



Edit : omg thanks for all the likes

Gabby is lucky to have all that love. It makes me emotional.

[thomasriddle]

And for people who have lived so long under such troubling circumstances..
