After our results from our 1st ultrasound our doctor scheduled a level 2 ultrasound with a specialist that could better determind what was all wrong with our baby. The earliest appointment I could get was 2 weeks later because of the Christmas Holiday... The worst part was, I had to wait after Christmas before I could get more answers..
It was a rough 2 weeks, I cried everyday. I found myself constantly on Google, trying to learn more about her condition. I found this support group on Facebook, called "Fibular hemimelia and Amputation Awareness." It was the most helpful for me. I got to talk to other parents that are going through, what I will be going through in the future. I seen lots of videos and pictures of their children. Just seeing their smiling faces, and how happy they are now, gave me hope. These kids are absoutley amazing, running, climbing, jumping, skiing, skating, etc. Nothing seems to slow them down. I then had a different outlook on the situation. But was still hopeful that at my next ultrasound I would get some good news.
It was finally time for my 2nd ultrasound. We found out that her left leg appears to be normal. But her right leg has a missing fibula bone, severly bowed tiba, and her foot is not fully formed. Other than that, she is one healthy baby so far!
Our sweet Kaylin was born with Fibular Hemimelia in both legs. In her right leg she is missing her fibula bone, foot/toe bones, and has a bowed tiba. Her left leg is missing foot/toe bones, and the rest is unknown until she grows. The purpose of this blog is to keep family and friends updated, and allow you to follow this journey with us!
