Here’s Another Little Girl Who Had a Similar Story
Though this condition is quite rare, Gabby isn’t the only one who suffers from it. Ashlyn Blocker is another girl who has congenital insensitivity to pain. She also has anhidrosis. Therefore, she can’t feel pain at all and doesn’t sweat. Her parents did much the same thing as Gabby’s. They learned early on that she would be different and that they would have to watch her every second of the day.

A Fearless Child with a Chillingly Scary Condition
Most parents want their kids to be fearless so that they’ll try new things, learn from their mistakes, and be strong-willed adults. However, what happens when your child wants to play and jump and cartwheel through life and can’t feel pain? She could break a wrist and not know it. Of course, some injuries draw blood, which would indicate something is wrong. Not all problems do, though, which makes it worrisome for the parents.
