Sean:
Welcome to the Two Disabled Dudes podcast.
Kyle:
We believe life is about how we react.
Sean:
XLH is a rare disease that Kyle and I didn't know much about until we were invited to be a part of XLH week in October 2020. It was a week of programming for the XLH community, full of education and fellowship. We thoroughly enjoyed learning from this panel of incredible patients, advocates, parents, and new friends. Enjoy the discussion.
Sean:
We are excited to be a part of the XLH Week and we're honored to be a part of the conversation today. Over the years, Kyle and I have experienced the power of support and connection through events, just like this one; in-person, virtual, getting coffee with one or two people, whatever it may be, where we have the opportunity to discuss our challenges, celebrate our wins, however big or small they may be. And, of course, collectively explore the ways in which we can move forward in life.
Sean:
We're honored to dialogue with a group of amazing individuals today, closely connected with the XLH community. We'll take a moment to allow each of them to introduce themselves. I'm going to head down here, bottom screen. JoBeth, would you mind stepping up?
JoBeth:
Hey, everybody. I'm JoBeth Sousa. I live in Lewisville, North Carolina. I have two children. I have an 18 year old son, who attends Wake Forest, and he does not have XLH. I do have a 13 year old daughter who was a spontaneous case. We diagnosed her when she was approximately 18 months old.
JoBeth:
I am here on the panel today as a caregiver. I also am a member of the Board of Directors for XLH, as well. Kara Beth was slow to walk, which is how we diagnosed her. She was in-toeing and dragging her left leg whenever she was learning how to walk.
JoBeth:
I had gone with another family on a trip to the beach, and they had a son that was about the same age as Kara Beth. We were just comparing, developmentally, the children and how different their son was compared to Kara Beth. He was toddling everywhere and KB was not.
JoBeth:
We talked to that family and they suggested that we just take her, pay our co-pay, and go see a specialist, and see if we could figure out what was going on. Fortunately, we actually saw an orthopedic doctor, and he did a simple blood test and identified that her phosphorous level was too low. He was the one who was able to diagnose her and tell us about her disease.
JoBeth:
When I left the office, I started spending some time researching on the internet and I found the XLH Network, which is how I got to the network.
Kyle:
And, JoBeth, we are going to talk about this in a little bit, but just so everybody knows, your wonderful daughter is an amazing soccer player, despite XLH. I love that so much.
JoBeth:
Yes. Actually, I am not in North Carolina today. I'm in Virginia, at a soccer tournament.
Kyle:
Nice.
JoBeth:
Her team has won two games already today, which means we get to play for the championship tomorrow. Good times.
Kyle:
Love it.
Sean:
There was a part of me that thought, "Man, her room looks like a hotel. It's so neat,
