Devon it was very scary, very unexpected. You go in to find the sex of your baby, and you find out, mm, we have other issues that we need to address. He called it proximal femoral focal deficiency. Dr. Cho in giannas case, she had a leg that was essentially nonfunctional below the knee. And although she could have been able to do some things with that nonfunctional leg, she would not be able to do as much as if she got an amputation and was fitted with a prosthesis. And so that type of decision isnt taken lightly. But we are fortunate that we take care of so many kids with this condition. Sean fortunately, our obgyn, her husband, was an orthopedist, and he was actually friends with the chief of staff at shriners in los angeles. And so very quickly, he had us on the phone with an orthopedic, just explaining to us what condition this was, what type of life we could expect. Devon she was born, and she was perfect, and it was so calm and peaceful in that moment. And i think having sophia already and her having a big sister. Life just okay, lets go. She was about three months old. We had our first visit at a clinic at shriners. And the beauty of it is we could see another kid that was, maybe, a year old, and we can see a threeyear old, we can see a fiveyear old and seven and nine. We see these other kids that are there, and theyre smiling and theyre laughing, and theyre with their families. And i can visualize what my child was going to be and how she was going to be. That was why we chose shriners. We knew it wasnt just a surgery that was gonna be completed, and we were on our own. We had a community. There was physical therapists, there were people to help us with services in our community. It was the doctors, it was. The processes, it was a community of people and families that we knew that this was the place that we could be with her for long term. I remember just driving up to shriners and always going through those doors and feeling so welcome, and the people there would just so patient with me and so open to trying to give me the best possible leg. And i know as a child, ive been difficult in some point, in some scenarios, and theyve just always made me feel worthy of being there and feel like i could do anything. Devon gianna was always pushing the boundaries, always pushing how far she can climb up a tree, how fast she can go, you know, she just would always push herself. To keep up with her sister, keep up with the kids in the neighborhood, and go, go, go, go. [cheering] gianna and so i went out and tried sports. I played soccer, softball. I did fencing for a little bit. I did tennis when i was younger, i did swimming. Sean i think what makes me most proud of her is just how shes grown up, how she perseveres, how she gets up every day and gets out of bed, puts on her leg. I have to understand thats no day is easy for her. Um, but she always has a great attitude about just getting up and going. Gianna when i think about the legacy i leave behind, i want to be person that people look towards for encouragement and inspiration. I want to be the person that shows strength and vulnerability and honesty. I wanna show kids just like me that. The limits are endless. They could do whatever they want and just, you have to be active and you have to go and try. Shriners was there for me when i needed them. They were there for my family, and im so thankful for them. I wouldnt be here. I wouldnt be where i am today without them. Announcer the preceding advertisement was paid for by shriners childrens.
