Here comes the butterfly leg!

Anna received her new butterfly leg! We are more than thrilled. It is so beautiful; they did a great job! They even made a designed liner to go with it.

We are also excited that Anna is finally able to move up to a more advanced foot. Her past two feet were the most basic- wood and foam- and gave her no spring to help with walking. Now she can fit into a nicer, more advanced foot (though still pretty basic compared to what she can wear in the future) that slightly bends and gives her more spring. It also looks more realistic and fits shoes perfectly. In case you don't know, while the leg is custom made in-house, feet are ordered from a prosthetics company and attached.

Here is the progression of her last three feet. Her new foot has a coating on it that slowly peels away, hence the odd coloring.

 

 

We are super excited to show off our new leg this summer! Soon we will be picking up her second leg which is identical but skin colored.
