Jude's Journey: Triumph Over Adversity Without Fibula in Both Legs

You know, after he was born we had, we had a nice little- well, I wouldn't say a reprieve before- we had to start doing a ton of stuff, but we did go to a few extra appointments when he was little and right away we had to go see an orthopedic surgeon and kind of start figuring out what we wanted to look at down the road. And we were kind of grateful for the time.
