need a genetic disorder for character?
I have a child character 4 years old, she needs to have an illness passed down from her parents, either one or both, that would cause her to be hospitalized a lot, and wrack up the medical bills. I would really appreciate ideas because I am having trouble :) thanks!
The story is more focused on her mother, who is my main. The little girl just needs to be sick. Not a mental disorder, just physical, and must be genetic. Thanks so much for your ideas!

Polycistic Kidney Disease! Hereditary disease that I got from my grandma- mom-me. My kidneys will eventually fill up with cysts-no longer function, and will require dialysis until you can find a transplant.

A challenge in the story almost always draws reader's in, and sometimes so does the title. All you need to do is to plan what her disorder challenges her about. Socializing? Seeing? Hearing? The possibilities go on.

A mental or physical disorder? If it was physical, make it leukemia. If it was mental, make it schizophrenia.
