St. Louis, Mo (first alarm 4)-Government Lee, a mother of three children under the age of 3, says her 3-year-old daughter Willow stopped at the beginning of this month.

“Since she was not mobile, it was a big red flag for me,” said Lee.

Rachitis is a serious vitamin -D deficiency that is most frequently observed in children. Symptoms include delayed growth and motor skills as well as muscle weakness.
