She was born with amniotic band syndrome, a rare condition that affects the limbs of a baby in utero. As a result, she has webbed toes, was born without a left pointer finger and is missing some of her fingernails. She also suffers from left club foot, a condition which has left her foot and leg unaligned and in need of correction.
“It’s like amniotic fluids in the womb that cause limbs to come off,” mum Kimberly Donnelly said. “She’s like one in 12,000 or 15,000 (diagnosed). “She nearly lost both her big toes. And that’s when the club foot came in because that’s associated with ABS.” Doctors first placed the infant’s lower body in casts for six weeks to keep her tiny joints in place, before moving her into the skateboard-like device, which she has worn for up to 23 hours a day.
