00:00Whenever she puts it on, she'll literally just put the liner on and then just kind of shove her arm in there and it'll click into the lock and that lock will be what holds everything off.
00:11You okay? Yeah? You look a little scared. I'm not scared, are you? I'm just a baby boy.
00:20I'll give you another minute or two in the beginning.
00:22You look it. It's yummy.
00:24What's your name?
00:25Katie.
00:26How old are you?
00:27Boy.
00:27Kaisley was born with her nephew. She has got an FUT. We are leaving June 18th.
00:33What are we doing in Dallas?
00:35It must be a lot for a four-year-old to process, but Kaisley is going to Dallas to get a prosthetic molded and fitted.
00:41It's kind of pointing out the same direction as the rest of her arm, kind of like almost like an extension of her forearm right there.
00:50So you want to make sure that it's pointing forward.
00:52This specialist pediatric hospital engineers prosthetics specifically designed for children.
00:57Now they know what will fit her, an arm will be created to not only meet her needs, but be visually appealing to Kaisley.
01:12I think you're riding a bike. I thought I was going to have to do a little bit more salesmanship here.
01:19All right, cool.
01:20Now they know what will fit her, an arm will be created to not only meet her needs, but be visually appealing to Kaisley, so she feels comfortable wearing it.
01:30Unfortunately, an unexpected misfortune made traveling to Dallas to pick up her finished arm an impossibility.
01:35The most horrendous thing happened to me this week.
01:39First, Kaisley got strep A, so she was down pretty bad.
01:43If that wasn't stressful enough, I get to work on Thursday.
01:46And lo and behold, I was laid off.
01:48And so it is taking a mental toll on my health.
01:50I did reach out to Scottish Rite after everything happened.
01:54They are supposed to melt out her arm.
01:57I know she's excited.
01:58Just as promised, her new arm arrived, and it was like all her Christmases came at once.
02:03Take it out!
02:05There's your...
02:07Is that yours?
02:08Here, hold it, Ty.
02:10Whoa!
02:11All right, let's put it on.
02:13Come here.
02:18It may take her some time to get used to this new sensation.
02:24But with the coolest unicorn design, Kaisley's arm gives her the mobility to play like every other child.
02:33She is gaining more and more confidence each day with her arm, even putting it on herself.
02:45Now she has had the arm a couple of months.
02:47Kaisley does not wear it as often as her parents thought she would.
02:50But now she has the opportunity to choose day by day.
02:53And that choice is worth everything.
02:55Kaisley does not wear it as often as her parents.
