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.

Here is a picture of Owen being casted for his second prosthetic. The first one lasted a full year with a couple of height adjustments along the way so we hope this one will last another year as well. This next prosthetic will be a little different that his last one...his weight will be on his heel instead of his whole foot like the last one. Owen's foot will be pointed downward and have a straighter leg look...we might even put a design on this leg. We can pick material if we want to personalize it for Owen. We are very excited about his new leg and we hope to have it in a couple of weeks. We will post pictures when it is completed.
