Izzy has amniotic band syndrome. Before birth, the inner membrane of the amniotic sac tore while the outer membrane remained intact. Strands from the torn membrane wrapped tightly around her developing body, contorting its shape. The bands wrapped around her head, affecting her skull and brain, and tightened around her left leg enough to break the bone.
After she was born, her parents were told to “make her comfortable” and let her pass away. But they saw how hard Izzy was fighting to survive and decided to fight alongside her.
Today, Izzy is five years old and loves her toys, laughs when people say hi, and loves when others include her. Her family wants people to get to know her, give her time to respond, and accept her exactly as she is.
