Fans Ask Insensitive Questions About Baby Evie Brush

Of course, many insensitive questions from the Sister Wives viewers came up.  Many were based off ignorance. Questions like, “You cut off her foot?” and “Wait, where’s her foot?” Fans questioned Maddie – they want to know why did they amputate her foot?

After asking many questions as to Evie’s future, it came down to the quality of life for their youngest child. Her daughter’s left tibia bone was bowed and shorter than the right. This made her left leg about 1/3 shorter than the right.

Evie Brush’s case fell into the gray area when it came to criteria for leg-lengthening surgery. So, these Sister Wives parents opted for the amputation.

The lengthening procedure would entail four major surgeries. Even once complete, Evie may still face the possibility that her foot would need to be amputated at the end. So, after all their research, they choose the Boyd amputation for Evie.
