For most of her life, Shemaiah Enoe’s family did not know that there was anything wrong with her.
Her mother, Shonell Enoe, said it was not until the girl was around 13-years-old that a friend pointed out that something about the alignment of her shoulders and back looked a bit off. The friend suggested that it might be scoliosis, a condition where there is a sideways curvature of the spine.
The Enoe family were advised to take the young girl to a hospital for an examination and it was there that she was diagnosed by Dr Fawcett Jeffrey.
