Andrew’s journey is marked by his resilience against dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica , also known as Trevor’s disease, is a rare congenital bone development disorder where an extra bone grows into a joint. Diagnosed over a year ago, this condition occurs in only one in one million children.
Experiencing excruciating pain in his left foot, particularly during activities, Andrew’s family sought answers, leading them to Shriners Children’s New England. Under the care of dedicated professionals, Andrew quickly overcame his challenges and returned to performing without foot pain.
