Anniston (Anni) was born to parents Derek and Beth Sanders, and was diagnosed with Treacher Collins Syndrome. She has undergone eight surgeries, most recently being a jaw distraction surgery, which was the most invasive and difficult surgery yet.
Anni was born with a small, recessed jaw, which makes it difficult for her to eat certain foods. Having a recessed jaw also resulted in Anni having severe sleep apnea and put her at risk for choking easily. The surgery involved placing two distractors, which are like metal rods, on each side of her jaw. http://bit.ly/2AfNx35
“Teach your children and grandchildren that everyone is different, and that it’s OK to be different,” Beth Sanders said. “When given the choice between being right and being kind, choose kind.”
