Born Different: The Child Who’s Made Of ‘Glass’

Fragile Zoe Lush has a rare condition which means her bones are so delicate they ‘break in the wind’. Zoe broke several bones whilst she was still in the womb, shattered her collarbone during birth and broke another 100 bones before her first birthday. 

When she was younger, Zoe would break a bone once a week. But now that she’s doing physical therapy, she’s grown stronger and the breaks are less frequent. Also, the addition of metal rods and a spinal fusion have given her some much needed relief.

Her mother Chelsea said Zoe’s social life is thriving and she has the natural ability to make friends easily. Her family hopes research and a possible cure will be the answer to their prayers.

Now Zoe, who is six-years-old, has broken almost every bone in her body and was almost internally decapitated after bones in her neck began to wear away. Zoe lives with her mum Chelsea Lush, dad, Curtis Lush, and three year old brother Felix, in Huntington Beach, California.

What an inspiring and incredible little girl. If you agree, please SHARE this with your friends on Facebook.
