Maddie Brown Brush Shares Evie’s Post-Surgery Update With Sweet Photo
Sister Wives fans recently learned Maddie Brown Brush’s daughter Evie underwent her first corrective surgery.
What exactly is wrong with Maddie’s daughter Evie?
It was in October of last year that Maddie Brown Brush started to open up about her daughter’s health. Maddie revealed that her daughter was just 24 hours old when they were given her diagnosis.
Speaking to People Magazine, Maddie revealed they learned Evie had oligodactyly, a congenital anomaly, which meant she had fewer than five fingers or toes.
I was stressing out the whole time. It was mixed emotions because I’m like, ‘I’ll take less than 10 fingers,’ but also nobody wants to hear that their daughter is going to be born without all of her fingers.”
For a long time, Maddie Brown Brush suffered a great deal of “mom guilt.” She worried and wondered about what she might’ve done wrong or different during this pregnancy.
Just a day after she was born, doctors diagnosed Maddie and Caleb’s daughter Evie with fibular aplasia, tibial campomelia, and oligosyndactyly (FATCO) syndrome. It is an extremely rare genetic disorder. Unfortunately, doctors have no idea what causes it.
Maddie explained: “It’s a genetic disorder so it’s just something that happens and they don’t know why.”
When Maddie and Caleb made the decision to open up about their daughter’s condition, they revealed they also decided to wait. They wanted to wait until she was over the age of one to make any major decisions. They wanted to give her body time to develop before considering corrective surgery or amputation.
