Owen was born in 2009 with a short right femur and the right side of his hip not developed properly.

This condition is called Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency or PFFD for short.

This blog is for Owen's family and friends to follow his progress and help other families who have a
child with PFFD.

Owen didn't take as many steps today. I think he was just worn out. He still has a raw red spot after removing the leg after 2 hours of wearing it. They made adjustments today but the redness still returns. Owen might just have to build up tolerance and toughen his skin in order to wear the leg for a longer period of time. We will have Friday to make additional adjustments in hopes to fabricate his prosthetic on Monday. This is just a little bump in this journey and Owen is a trooper. The redness does not seem to bother him. We will let you know what we find out tomorrow.
