Mom Expected Complications After Delivery But Wasn’t Prepared For This.

When Joni Gatlin went in for her ultrasound at 15 weeks pregnant, doctors noticed some unusual fluid in the scan. But nothing would prepare Joni for the extent of the strange condition.

When baby Madison was born in Crestview, Florida, she looked completely different than what Joni had expected. From her waist up, Madison appeared extremely muscular for a newborn baby girl.

After months of tests, doctors finally diagnosed Madison with a progressive overgrowth disorder. She was born with CLOVES, a very rare condition caused by a gene mutation and results in the build-up of lymphatic fluid beneath her arms and chest.

Now at 18 months old, the mass in Madison’s right arm weighs about five pounds and will continue to grow based on her height and weight.

Doctors weren’t sure if Madison would survive, but this incredible little girl has defied all odds stacked against her. However, her disorder doesn’t come without its judgements from outsiders.

One day, a complete stranger saw Madison and told Joni “You should have aborted her.” Wow Heartless.

Watch the video below to see how Joni and her family treat Madison in the midst of social stigma — and what Madison looks like today.
