Pictured are part of Thomas' family; Mom-Gini, Dad-Paul, Big Sister-Hannah, and not pictured, Big Brother- Jake.

     In the 20 week ultrasound the doctor's found that Thomas was missing his left fibula completely. Thomas also has the abnormal ankle with two missing toes.
God gave us little T for a reason, because he knew we were perfect for him. We love him so much and are so blessed to have him!
     The doctor's would like to do a "Syme amputation" which is to remove his left foot and fit him with a prosthetic. Thomas is always on the move! And we know this is the best option for Thomas. - He doesn't like things to slow him down!

What is fibular hemimelia? Fibular hemimelia is a birth defect where part or all the fibular bone is missing and there are associated limb length discrepancy, foot deformities, and knee ligament problems. How common is fibular hemimelia? Fibular hemimelia occurs one in 40,000 births. 

We have decided for me to only work part time due to the extra special care that Thomas will need. Paul is working full time and overtime when he can to try and make up the difference so I can be with Thomas. Thomas will be getting a new prosthetic every year and trips to Minnesota will be occuring at least every 6 months. The surgery will take place in May or June 2015 in Minnesota. We will be staying there for the week. We will go back 3 more times after that every 2 weeks to get check ups and fitted for the prosthetic. After the prosthetic, little T will need physical therapy and to learn how to walk with a prosthetic. (Paul does not get paid if he misses work).

Created on behalf of little Thomas and his family, this page was established to raise money to help with the cost of medical bills and any other incidentals associated with his care (hotel stays, medication, etc).
