The photo shows the 24-year-old holding her daughter in her arms, where she had a bandage on one hand and on one of her legs.

“Evie received a number of gifts in connection with the one-year anniversary. Her surgeon laid the foundation for the new foot and the mobility it will provide “, was among what the reality star wrote to the post, and explained that the daughter had also undergone an operation on her hand to increase her mobility.

The post then made more people open their eyes, and it did not take long before critical questions hailed against the reality star.

– Have you cut off her foot?

Now, in a recent post, she answers the critical questions she has received in connection with her daughter’s amputation. She does this on Instagram where she goes deeper into her and her husband Caleb Brush’s decision to have her daughter’s foot amputated.

‘Have you cut off her foot? If she was functional, why did you amputate? Wait, where’s her foot? Was it really necessary to cut off her foot “, is among the questions the 24-year-old has been asked lately.

“I understand the questions and at first glance I would wonder the same thing”, she starts the post with.

“You cut her foot off?” “If she was functional, why did you amputate?” “Wait, where is her foot?” “Was it really necessary to cut her foot off?”. These are all questions I have received since Evie’s Surgery. . I understand the questions and at first glance, I would ask the same thing. Evie’s left Tibia bone, along with the bowing it had, was also about a 1/3 shorter than her right. When she’s little it’s not super noticeable unless closely looked at. As she grows though, we were looking at the possibility of a dramatic difference. . Some families and people opt for a lengthening surgery, but Miss Evie’s difference was in the grey area of if that was even possible or not. With at least 4 major surgeries and the possibility of having to amputate in the end, we chose a Boyd amputation. . This was not a light-hearted decision, we spent the better part of the last year educating ourselves, talking to doctors, prosthetists, other families, and other amputees as we came to the decision we did. . Before Evie, I classified amputees as one category. You amputated because there was no way of saving the limb. I think that goes along with #limbdifference education. Sometimes it’s about quality of life. Due to this, I wanted to give a more in-depth explanation and answer all at once. I hope it will all bring awareness to a part of the #limbdifference world.

The reality star goes on to explain the nuances of her daughter’s specific case. The one-year-old was born with the condition oligodactyly, which according to National Center for Biotechnology Information is a deformity that can, among other things, lead to you being born with fewer toes or fingers, and that the bones in the body do not develop normally.

When Evie was born, she lacked a thumb and a toe, while one leg lacked a fibula (leg bone, journ.anm.). In addition, two of her fingers were fused together.

In the post, the 24-year-old explains that his daughter’s left leg was about 1/3 shorter than the right.

“When she’s little, it’s not very noticeable unless you look closely. But as she grows, we looked at the possibility of a dramatic difference “, she continues.

– Not an easy decision

Furthermore, the reality star explains that some families and people choose to carry out an extension operation, but in the daughter’s case it was not certain that this was possible.

“She had at least four major surgeries ahead of her, and it was very likely that her foot would have to be amputated in the end. That is why we chose to perform the amputation now “, Brush explains, and adds:

“This was not an easy decision. We have spent a lot of time gaining knowledge, talking to doctors, other families and people who have had a body part amputated, before we came to the decision we made “.

It was last year that Brush openly shared about how she received the news about her daughter’s condition.

– I just sat there and tried to find out what happened. I had just had a baby, and then all these specialists came in. I panicked, she told People that time.
