Rare disease, overnight 11-year-old turned 70-year-old

He's called “alien” of the strange “”, his mother said.

Shawn Tebbutt of Bedfordshire, Great Britain, was diagnosed in Lipodostrof after his third birthday, a disease that prevents the body from creating, retaining and functioning fat in the organism, writes Periscope.

Although 11-year-old has normal appetites, the situation he's left him with dried cheekbones, making him look much older than his real age.

It was as if I would close my eyes and my son would turn into an old man within one night”, his Joan mother said of the “The Mirror”.

“Crets suddenly he looked like a 70-year-old”, she stressed.

She says she asks doctors on each visit if there is healing for her son, but they say they are hopeful that there will be one day. So far, however, doctors have not reached a conclusion that would not be the child's rare disease. /Periscopi/
