We have such a joyful little girl, and she is the most special thing in the world. "Bye, bye, prosthetic," She says....At the Sheraton Downtown. She loved this Christmas tree!So mesmerized by all the different textures of the ornaments.

A few more updates on this process...
We have been back and forth, back and forth, with the RIC over e-mails. We have put our foot down and we are not going to put this thing on her. Bob has been great handling this process and looking out for his little girl. I am not sure yet if we will have to wait 8 months, or if we can somehow get them to not bill our insurance since we are going to bring it back. This seems to be a bit of a battle, but we are standing our ground and looking out for what is best for Madeline. She has been fine without it, so if there is something better we will try it, and continue to seek guidance.

Bob and I are VERY passionate about this, and if there are ways to better inform parents of children with limb differences, we will do what we can to get the word out. It is unfortunate we weren't aware of pediatric prosthetis, who exclusively specialize in upper limbs. But now we know, and will use our knowledge for the better.
