拇指姑娘！出生时仅手掌大 12岁重如2岁婴儿

Tiny Kenadie Jourdin-Bromley stands just over three feet tall and weighs the same as a two-year-old.

小小只的约迪·茹尔丹-布罗姆利站起来仅3英尺高，跟2岁的孩子一样重。

The 12-year-old was born weighing just 2.5lbs and measuring 28cms -less than the length of a school ruler.

12岁的小约迪出生时仅重2.5磅，体长28厘米，比一把尺子还短。

When she was born, her mother, Brianne Jourdin, 36, was warned her daughter - who was so small nurses named her 'Thumbelina' - was unlikely to survive more than a few days.

她出生的时候，36岁的母亲布里安娜·茹尔丹被告知——她的女儿太娇小了，护士们都叫她拇指姑娘，她活不了几天。

Doctors said she was likely to have brain damage and was not expected live, so her parents had her baptised that day.

医生称，小约迪很可能有脑损伤命不久矣，所以她的父母那天为她施洗礼。

Eight months later, she was diagnosed with primordial dwarfism - a condition causing underdevelopment of limbs, which affects about 100 people worldwide.

8个月后，她被确诊为原始性侏儒症，这会使得小约迪的四肢无法正常发育，这种病全世界大约有100个病例。

However, despite having learning difficulties and thin and fragile bones - Kenadie, from Kitchener, Ontario, plays hockey, swims, and enjoys going to school.

尽管来自安大略湖基奇纳的小约迪学习起来困难重重、体型小的可怜又弱不禁风，她却打曲棍球，游泳，上学，日子过得很开心。

图注：站在弟弟旁边12岁的小约迪跟玩偶一一般高！！
