Happy New Year and happy Miracle Monday! This is Will from Texas who is a quad congenital amputee. Will has always defied odds, starting with an all-too-rare diagnosis before he was born. Hanhart syndrome is an uncommon birth defect characterized by a short, incompletely developed tongue, absent or partially missing fingers or toes, malformed arms or legs and a very small jaw. The severity of these physical abnormalities varies greatly among individuals, and children with this disorder often have some, but not all, of the symptoms. Wills diagnosis affects all four of his limbs; he was born without feet and with partially formed hands. This hardly slows him down. Will is so expressive and engaging that others quickly forget what he lacks physically. Although doctors told him he would never be able to run and jump without ankles, he has since proven them wrong, defying odds once again.
