She also had to have her “hand cut off”, according to her mother.

About a year after her birth, Evie was able to walk for the first time with a prosthetic leg.
“TEST IT”
At the time, Maddie took to Instagram to share a sweet Boomerang of her then one-year-old daughter wobbling as she tried on a prosthetic.
She was holding her daughter, helping her take a few steps.
She captioned the clip: “Test it.”
Before posting the clip, Maddie told fans “they were snuggling up in bed because [Evie] had an emotional moment.”
She continued: “So I was trying to put him to sleep and now we’re just cuddling.
“The prosthesis was too big and it needs to be a bit smaller, so we have another fitting on Friday and hopefully next Friday we will have a prosthesis.”
This is the first time Evie has been able to try walking with her new prosthesis after having the mold made almost a month ago.
In early October, the reality TV star shared a Boomerang gif on Instagram of herself holding Evie as the prosthetist worked to get her into shape for the artificial limb.
She captioned the post: “Big day for Miss Evie! First cast for her prosthesis!
They weren’t able to go home with a prosthesis on the same day as the cast, as Maddie explained that there are several steps in the process and it may be a while before it’s done. ended.
The mother-of-two, who also shares son Axel with husband Caleb Brush, told Instagram followers, “Evie was cast for a socket… [were made] to show where the special points are. Where it must be molded specifically for its socket.
“So he’ll mold a clear sleeve and we come back and he fits the clear sleeve for him so he can see what it looks like. Does she need extra space here? Is this place too narrow?
“And then when he’s fixed the clear socket and she looks good in a clear socket, then he’ll make a prosthesis.”
Once Evie is fitted with a prosthesis, she will receive a new one every six months as she grows.
Maddie added that she plans to continue sharing updates as this is all a “learning process” for her and her husband, but they want to raise awareness “for the purpose of normalization”.
Maddie has been open with her fans about her daughter’s condition.
DIAGNOSTIC DETAILS
After revealing the youngster’s health issues and how doctors treated them, Maddie shared a photo of herself and her daughter in hospital.
Evie had her left leg wrapped in a blue cast attached to a black belt.
The toddler had her right hand covered in an extra medical bandage as her mother hugged her while wearing a face mask.
Maddie captioned the post, “Evie got some big gifts for her 1st birthday.
“His surgeon has laid the foundation for his new foot and the mobility it will bring, through bodily amputation.
“Another gave her extra mobility in her hand, cutting her strap she had in her right hand.”
Maddie’s dramatic labor when she gave birth to her daughter was captured on the season finale of Sister Wives earlier this year.
