Meet JP!

When JP was born, he could barely move, constantly slept and wasn’t eating regularly. It wasn’t until nine months old that he was able to hold his head up on his own. That’s when doctors began to fear JP would never be able to walk and continued to search for the reason why. 

Just before his second birthday, JP underwent genetic testing and was diagnosed with Potocki-Lupski Syndrome (PTLS), a very rare health condition caused by a duplication of a gene in chromosome 17.  PTLS causes many of the complications that JP experienced, including developmental delays, feeding and speech difficulties and low muscle tone, among several other conditions.

Throughout his childhood, JP continued to receive care from many specialists at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer that helped both him and his family navigate through his medical needs. From regular checkups with his cardiologist and neurologist, to appointments with his gastroenterologist to help with nutritional necessities, and visits at the Feeding Difficulties Center, JP’s family was determined to do everything they could to help him continue to grow stronger.

Thanks to the early intervention JP received at The Howard Phillips Center for Children and Families and the continued care from his team of specialists at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer, JP can walk, run and dance with his seven siblings and continues to surpass all expectations.

JP’s smile and laughter brings joy to everyone he meets. You and 7-Eleven are helping Orlando Health Arnold Palmer transform kids’ and families’ lives Central Florida now and in the future.
