LilyD July 10, 2022 Share July 10, 2022 Quote All they knew was Evie didn't have 10 fingers which wouldn't indicate a hospital birth would be required. The other issues were only identified after she was born. https://www.instagram.com/p/B39fDNlgP_p/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Brought over from the Janelle thread. Yes, the instagram post clearly implies they didn’t know there were more issues besides the lack of fingers. But, as far as I remember, they were told about certain anomalies on the ultrasound at the time, though they did specifically mention the missing fingers. From a medical point of view, the under development of her left leg was so serious that It is highly unlikely this was missed on the scans, particularly because they measure limbs as they indicate a baby’s growth. They did notice an absence of little fingers, yet they missed the absence of an entire leg bone and a seriously malformed tibia? Not buying that. I also clearly remember Maddie down-playing the warning signs at the time. It was very obvious she never realised it could be something more serious than missing a finger or two. I do agree with the statement that missing fingers do not necessarily warrant a hospital birth. However, such conditions are often not standalone issues but can be part of a bigger picture/another condition. This is one reason why this should have been a hospital birth. If only to rule out a more serious condition, which happened to be the case here too. In Maddie’s defence, her entire “laid back” may have been her maternal instinct kicking in. When your child is seriously ill, you often focus on the positives an ignore the other signs. Positivity keeps you going after all. it was this or she was overwhelmed by the devastating news and missed about half of what they said and focussed on a few missing fingers instead. 5 4 2 Link to comment

Not buying that. Me neither. The two things together point to the possibility of FATCO syndrome, which sometimes involves cardiac and/or respiratory problems. That ambulance ride probably wiped out any savings of having a non-hospital birth, though TLC got to film it all for more drama and more $$$ for the Browns. 8 1 2 Link to comment

All that was mentioned as far as I know is, she was born in a birthing center 2 hours from their home. From the birthing center she was transported to a “local hospital “. In case the video doesn’t work for you, the episode was, Two Moms, Their Daughter, and A Baby Sister Wives: Season 14, Episode 15.

SunnyBeBe July 14, 2022 Share July 14, 2022 Right. I read the hospital was UNC, so figured that must be Chapel Hill, unless they meant Rex UNC but Chapel Hill is 2 hrs from Greenville. I didn’t see anything on the Birthing Center. Tks. 1 Link to comment
LilyD July 15, 2022 Share July 15, 2022 I agree with you here Cherrybelly. It’s so rare that I doubt such a precise diagnosis could have been made. But, like I said there were a few other things that should not have been missed. Or maybe they weren’t missed but simply ignored by Maddie and Caleb. Out of ignorance or a mother’s instinct…. 4 1 Link to comment

Teafortwo July 21, 2022 Share July 21, 2022 Look at Christine with her exposed shoulder t-shirt! I hate that she's still an MLM predator, particularly with this toxic brew which is worse than asking people to buy overpriced shoddy polyester garments or makeup - but Christine has come a long way from her modesty days. I guess dumping the religion has that effect - although with this MLM shilling, she's still participating in a cult. The conditioning is strong in her. 10 Link to comment

If you. think about it, it is the only way she thinks she can earn money. MLM's suck and take advantage of people, but if you happen to get in early, you may make some decent money on the backs of your downline. I really wish she had not backed out of the Real Estate business. I think she could have done well if she applied herself. 8 Link to comment

There’s no relation between Evie’s Fatco and Axel’s Apraxia/speech disorder. In both cases, this is simply a matter of bad luck as it could happen to anyone of us. I haven’t heard anything about Axel in a while btw so hopefully he has improved a lot and now developing normally. I do agree that Maddie is taking on a lot with two kids that need extra care. But….if three kids is something that she really wants, then she should go for it. A desire for a 3rd can be as strong as the wish for a first child. I can tell😉☺️ Our 3rd really was our special bonus kid. So Maddie, welcome in the club of 3s. 2 1 4 Link to comment
Gramto6 July 31, 2022 Share July 31, 2022 I understand there is no relation between their disorders. So bad luck...if I had bad luck twice I would have to think hard if I want to risk "bad luck" thrice. And as I said that was just what I would do. Maddie is a grown woman and can make her own decisions about what she wants to do, it is her and Caleb's choice. 2 9 Link to comment
deirdra July 31, 2022 Share July 31, 2022 When they came to Flagstaff to introduce Evie, Maddie said she wanted 2 kids but Caleb wanted 4. Perhaps they will compromise and have 3. I sure hope they don't rope Ysabel into too many child care duties, 7 2 Link to comment

It’s taken 5 months of professional lightening every 6 weeks— with LOTS of Olaplex treatments and trims in between. At least her hair isn’t that terrible black shade any more. That really washed her out. Those little highlights help a lot! 3 3 Link to comment
