布鲁克生前一直都是躺在婴儿车里,被大人们推来推去。在2009年接受ABC之声采访的时候,布鲁克的体重为16磅(约7.26公斤),身高30英寸(76.2 厘米)。她不会说话,但是开心的时候会笑,而且显然认识她的三个姐妹:现年26岁的艾米丽、现年23岁的凯特琳和现年17岁的卡莉。
But only her hair and fingernails grew.
但是只有她的头发和指甲壳会长长。
In her first six years, Brooke went through a series of medical emergencies from which she recovered, often without explanation. She survived surgery for seven perforated stomach ulcers. She had a brain seizure followed by what was diagnosed as a stroke that, weeks later, had left no apparent damage.
在出生后的最初6年里,布鲁克经历了一系列的紧急医疗事故,每次都会奇迹般的康复,无法解释原因。她接收了7次胃溃疡穿孔手术,她曾被诊断为突发中风,接着又突发大脑癫痫,数周后奇迹般康复,未留下明显的脑损伤。
Richard F. Walker, a retired medical researcher from the University of Florida Medical School who now does his research at All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, has followed Brooke's case since she was about 2 years old, comparing her genetic code with that of other children with the same condition. Their bodies do not develop as a coordinated unit, but as independent parts that are out of sync, according to Walker. No known genetic syndromes or chromosomal abnormalities can explain why.
