https://www.pffd.org/blog/80 If you are new to PFFD - I recommend starting with the PFFD book en https://www.pffd.org/node/123 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Hi I am a father of two beautiful boys the youngest one born in July 2003 with pffd.He is a dream come true. He can probably climb better than any kids without this condition and along with his older brother light up our lives. He is penned in for lenghtening in September this year. The problem is that it is very diffucult to make a final decision to go ahead with this operation. The difference to date is approx 6cm. At full growth it will be 20+ cm. Does the end justify the means? Each time we speak to our surgeon the future looks bleaker, and living in Ireland there are not many people with this condition and therefore no support groups . I,d really love to hear from anyone who has faced this and come out the other side no matter which road they have taken. Looking foward to hearing anyone,s comments and replies</p> </div></div></div> Tue, 24 May 2005 00:57:13 +0000 Alanf 123 at https://www.pffd.org https://www.pffd.org/node/123#comments
