The Greenberg family from Baltimore has four daughters - Emily 22, Caitlin 19, Brooke 16 and Curly 13. But one of them is the long-awaited third baby - an eternal baby. With all the wealth of data on such cases collected by geneticists in the world, there has never been such a case.
An amazing case of development of Brooke Greenberg from the very first day of a child's life is being monitored by her attending physician - pediatrician Lawrence Pakula of the Johns Hopekins School of Medicine.
“Not one of the world's luminaries in medicine has yet been able to determine what is happening with Brook,” Pakula says. - She continues to amaze every day.
During her life, Brooke suffered several serious illnesses: stomach ulcers, cancer and cerebral hemorrhage, but for unknown reasons, the tumor resolved by itself, and the stroke left no traces.
Here is 16-year-old Brooke, along with her 13-year-old beloved sister Curly
History
Miracle Greenberg does not grow up like ordinary people. Dr. Richard Walker of the University of South Florida at Tampa believes that Brooke's body does not develop as a coordinated organism. Parts of the girl's body - arms, legs, internal organs - grow on their own, each in its own way and for all 16 years they are not synchronized with each other in any way.

At the same time, the girl has not yet been found to have any of all the world's known genetic syndromes or chromosomal abnormalities that could explain her problem.
Family
The family loves their baby. The only family member younger than Brooke is her sister Curly. The difference is at the age of three years, but Curly has long been accustomed to carrying her older sister in her arms.
- When we go to the pool or play on the playground, on the street, we always lack something, - says the girl's mother, Melanie Greenberg. “We're not a family without Brooke.
“Brooke is the core, the center of our family,” says the girl's father, 52-year-old Howard Greenberg. - Maybe she found the secret of survival ?! We would like to know that. Perhaps it will help other people. Each of the people comes to this world for something. Could this be the reason Brooke came here ?!
Curly is used to playing with her older sister like a small child.
