OH. MY. GOODNESS. 😑
When you think of people who need prosthetics, you probably think of veterans, not a three year old. I completely understand that. I have no problem with that. That's EXACTLY what my first thought was when the doctors told us Kielah would eventually need one.
BUT HERE'S THE ISSUE.
If you see my child somewhere, and you are curious what is on her leg:
ASK ME.
- Do not stare.
- Do not give her weird looks.
- Do not poke your friend and point to my child and speak.
- Do not keep looking into space then looking back at her because I CAN TELL.
It's not a normal everyday thing to see a toddler with an apparatus on her leg. I GET IT! However, if your child had something special about her, and someone was staring at him or her, would you be upset? Yes.
I don't mind questions, and most parents in my situation don't.
In fact, I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
If you are staring at my child, it should be because she is CUTE. AS. HECK. Not because she has "something on her leg."
