This cutie is just 5 months old! This is the PERFECT time to get started on that paperwork so that he could be home by a year old if not sooner! He has Arthrogryposis (I'm assuming all limbs as it doesn't say otherwise), convulsive disorder, hypotrophy, capillary hemangioma of the right cheek and back region. I am guessing by looking at his hands he has the most common form of Arthrogryposis, called Amyoplasia. Amyoplasia is a non-genetic form of Arthrogryposis (many forms of AMC are genetic) Arthrogryposis is very treatable and babies respond to therapy the best during the first year of life, so the sooner he is home the easier treatment will likely be!!
