I just have a sec and am checking in by cell phone. There is an organization called ican. It stands for international child amputee network. They are a great resource for parenting limb different kids. My daughter uses prosthetic legs. These are not well covered by our insurance. She is a dancer and needs high tech stuff. We use Scottish rite hospital in Dallas. The do not charge for thier services. Shriners hospitals are like that too. Most children born with upper limb differences choose to just do without prosthetics and figure out things with what they have. My son uses wheelchair but no prosthtics. Both of them get around in the house without prosthetics or wheelchairs even up stairs.
