Worse, she got sick just before she learned to walk. Luckily, the disease was stopped before it took her fingers too.
But ingenuity and caring gave little Ava back a little of what she needed. Ava has been fitted with a prosthetic pair of feet she wears like slippers complete with toes.
‘She loves the new slippers,’ her mom says. ‘She thinks that we have bought her some new toes from a shop.'
A spokesman for Dorset Orthopaedic said: ‘This is the first time we have ever made these for someone so young...it was quite difficult to cast her feet as they were so tiny…[but] they look extremely realistic and they look great.’.
Could there be a cuter kid with such a tragic story and a happy ending?
