I have been a patient with Paley for years and have done almost 20 inches of lengthening on my right leg. However my feet are different sizes so when I buy shoes, I have to buy both sizes... No where at home lets you mix and match sizes so I was wanting to see if anyone needed right shoes in a size 9 or left shoes in a size 5 to 6??? I don't know what to do with them!!! I was an art major, so I made a dining room table out of some but with that project done - I am stacking up unused shoes again!!!
Just a quick reminder that Drs Standard and Herzenberg will be doing their regular chat this week. This chat is for congenital limb differences, so most of the families will have congenital femoral deficiency or fibular hemimelia or both.
Time: 9:15 PM EDT (Note that this is the time zone for Baltimore, MD or Washington, DC)

I was at Goodwill today and my son pointed out a pair of shoes. They are in good shape. They are New Balance, black high-tops. Size 12 (Boys). The left shoe is stacked 1.5 inches higher than the other. They were only $6.50! Let me know if anybody needs them.
My daughter has been getting a petechiae rash off and on for almost a year. Her pediatrician thought it might be linked somehow to PFFD so I was wondering if anyone has had this problem. We're currently working on getting a referral to a specialist to have this check, but I thought I'd ask while we are waiting.
Thanks!

My grand niece will start the lengthening process in the fall. Her family will need financial help. Is there a national organization that can assist with this? If not, are there certain steps that need to be taken to establishing a find raising effort. Should a formal fund raising organization be established? If so, what are the steps that should be taken? Thank you.
I'm really pleased to announce that my wife Alex and I are expecting our first baby this coming Christmas.
We went for Alex's 12 week scan yesterday and thankfully everything looked normal, which of course is what every parent wants to hear. It was such a great experience, looking at little baby Bailey moving around, amazing.
Just a quick reminder that Dr. Standard is again hosting our monthly chat on congenital limb differences (CFD, fibular hemimelia etc) this Thursday at 9:15 PM EDT.
This is a great way to be able to ask questions without having to make an appointment.
For details on registering, please email icll (at) lifebridgehealth.org, and give the child's age and diagnosis, and mention you heard about the chat here. (Just being safe... we've had a few "questionable" people who have asked for info and like to make sure everyone is "legit").
I know others have discovered this in the past on this site but I just have to say how much we love our Plasma car. This has been the best toy our son has ever recieved. We just put in wood floors in our whole house and our (almost 4 year old) cruises all over the place. It makes trips to the bathroom and trips to get more toys from his room fun and easy when his prosthetic is off. He hops on his "bike" and off he goes. We found it for $36.00 at Costco!
Does anybody have an email address for Dr Charles I. Scott Jr. MD of the Division of Genetics, Department of Pediatrics at the Dupont Childrens Hospital, Wilmington?
I have found the website with information for him, but only phone and fax numbers. I'm in the UK and wanted to send an email, rather than a lengthy, expensive phone call.
This is all regarding the fact i've been told recently that he has done some genetic study with findings that on the maternal side on the X chromisone the condition seemed to have been passed on.
