WATCH: The little girl made of glass

Imagine a little girl who has broken so many bones in her six short years that her parents have stopped counting.

For Chelsea and Curtis Lush, it was during a five-month scan that their daughter Zoe was first diagnosed with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, also known as Brittle Bone disorder.

“We were doing a 4D ultrasound and they were able to see her multiple fractures that were fresh and [those that were] healing already,” says Chelsea.

“She had broken ribs, her arms and her legs were about six weeks behind what they should have been. They told us she had a really severe condition and she possibly wouldn’t make it until her birth day.”

Despite being advised to terminate their first child, the couple refused and Zoe was born in October 2010, fracturing her collarbone on the way out.

Within a month, she had broken both of her arms and her leg, with something as simple as changing Zoe’s nappy taking three people carefully maneuvering her so she wouldn’t get injured.

Since then, the plucky little girl has undergone a series of operations and has been in a neck brace since she was diagnosed with cervical kyphosis at the age of two-and-a-half.

In an update posted to her Go Fund Me page last year, Curtis reveals Zoe “finally had her neck surgery (spinal fusion) for her cervical kyphosis! We traveled from ca to Delaware and [lived] there for one month. Zoe is now in a halo and suspected to get it off early December!”

Now aged six, and able to tell her parents whether she’s in pain, the smiling tot knows to tell people to be careful with her – and her parents are optimistic about her future.

“I would not change Zoe. If I could take OI back, I would never take it back,” says her mum. “In the future I hope Zoe has just as well as an opportunity as everybody else.”
