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.

Patience! Patience! Patience!



The above picture is a mold of Owen's new prosthetic.  We had a fitting appointment on Feb. 7 to see if the cast they took of his leg was the proper fit so they could starting fabricating his new leg.  Unfortunately, Owen did not adjust well to the change and was not comfortable putting his leg into the mold.  We tried for 3 hours off and on.  Mr. Aaron was so PATIENT with Owen and allowed him to take breaks and tried his best to talk Owen through the process.  The end result was to just go ahead and fabrication a new leg and cross our fingers it fits.
