Mom's of children with limb differences.

Mom's of children with limb differences.

My daughter is 19 and was born with fibular hemimelia resulting in amputation of her left foot at 11 months and subsequent 7 other surgerys to the most resent this year to shorten her residual limb for better fitting prosthesis. I didn't know what to do or where to go 19 years ago, but throughout this journey, I've learned a few things. You, too, may have some lessons to share that will help me and others who have watched their children adapt to this diffence. I hope to hear from you.
