This little lady is Daenj (pronounced Dang). She was born normal then developed hydrocephalic condition. The doctors gave her parents a 50/50 chance of survival to operate and stop the swelling. Her parents chose to not operate. When she became of school age, all she wanted to do was go to school. Her parents wanted her to go to school but her grandmother didn’t, fearing she would tip over and tumble with her big head. So Grandma attended school with her for 4 month until she was satisfied that Daenj could do well. Daenj speaks Thai, English and French…prefers speaking and reading French. She worked as a literature translator and now lives at the McKean Center.
