Emily
© 1999 all
rights reserved Emily was born in 1999. She was
diagnosed with a missing right forearm after her 1st ultrasound. As first time
parents, this was a shock to my husband and I, but we continued on, hoping that
everything would be OK. During my pregnancy, it help me a lot to be part of the
I-CAN network. They provided the support I needed and was able to see that a
limb difference is not seen as a hindrance. This page also helped my other
family members with their questions and that people with limb differences can do
anything they set their minds to do. Emily at 2 months has found her left hand. She likes to place it in her mouth and open her fingers up. She doesn't quite understand why this tastes funny and why they all don't fit. She smiles and coos a lot now. Emily at 3 months is now using her little arm much more. She
grabs things and is reaching for objects. She loves to smile and play
peek-a-boo. She can hold her pacifier in her mouth with her little arm and I
even caught her scratching her head. She reaches up to place her little arm and
left hand up to hold bottle, but she still doesn't grasps yet.
