Syndactyly foot repaired

 

Once again our son is amazing. He went through his second surgery like a champ. This was his second foot as his first foot was operated on in May last year and is already fully healed. He has always been embarrassed of his feet for some reason and is not willing to show anyone. In China the doctors told him to show his feet and he refused, it wasn't until I his dad told him ok that he let them but was NOT happy at all. It turns out for whatever reason he hates people seeing his feet. So when I asked him if I could show pictures of his repaired feet so our family and friends could see them he said "no." We then got to talking about how last year before any surgeries we really wanted to see what a repaired foot would look like but couldn't find any pictures anywhere on the Internet. So after thinking about it for a bit he agreed to post pictures of his feet in case there are other kids who want to see what it will look like. If it would help them make a decision or feel better about their own surgery he is willing to overcome his personal embarrassment for the sake of others. Pretty amazing that he cares more for others than himself, how Christ-like. So we are really posting this for people searching the Internet but if you are family and friends I hope you are blessed also. If anyone ever has any questions about Syndactyly or Older Child Adoption please contact us because we could not be more blessed by our son and would love to share our story with everyone.
