I took Harry to the doctors yesterday as he's had a small pea sized lump above his belly button, which over the last 2 weeks has grown larger & is painful to touch.
As I suspected Harry has a hernia.
So the doctor has referred Harry to be seen by a surgeon.
Hi, Im Harry Crowther, Im 24 years old and I have an extremely rare genetic disorder known as Atypical Progeria Syndrome (Non Classical Progeria) whereby I have a defect with the LAMIN A/C gene (LMNA). Though not to be confused with the classical Hutchinson Guilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) - both are Premature Aging Disorders. I was diagnosed in the USA aged 7 years old. Together with my Mum I keep this blog. Hope you enjoy my story.

Catch up!!!
Harry has enjoyed his 3rd week back at High school, now in year 8!!!!
He's very much looking forward to the Progeria Reunion in a couple of weeks, to catch up with his friends from all over Europe whom he met last year.
Noticed him limping today, said his legs were paifull. Horrid arthritis, wish I could take it away from him....
On a brighter note...We've some exciting news and we will reveal all soon. So watch this space.
