This is Jordyn's story and her journey started when she was born on November 12, 2012 with a rare congenital defect called Tibial Hemimelia. This is a birth defect where the Tibia Bone (shin) is missing, and her ankle joint and knee is malformed. When born with this condition we were told the normal treatment is AMPUTATION. This condition is found in one out of a million babies. My mother was devastated because my aunt (her sister) has this same defect and both her legs was amputated at the age of 3. Sure enough after getting four opinions ALL the doctor's ALL said the same thing: THE TREATMENT FOR JORDYN'S CONDITION IS AMPUTATION! My mom prayed and with works (research) found one of the only doctor's in the country Dr. Paley at St. Mary's Hospital, he has already performed recontructive surgery so that I'm able to save my leg and work towards getting two feet on the ground. My family is now preparing for my next set of surgeries which will include putting on an external fixator which will straighten and lengthen my leg for 1 year in conjuction with extensive physical theraphy daily at the Paley Institute in Florida and a body cast or the remaining 2 months. I'm BRAVE and STRONG and ready to countinue my journey. I will also need to go through this process throughout my growing years and have continual doctors visits in Florida. I'm asking for your prayers and support of DONATIONS to assist me and my family with the medical bills and Cobra insurance needed to pay for this costly procedure and travel expenses from Michigan to Florid as well as lodging 8/9 month stay in West Palm Beach, Florida, medical equipment. I also have to be prepared for any unforeseen hiccups. My mom is on a leave of absense from work with no pay, as she is a single parent and needs to be in order to care for me.
