        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Sister Wives&#8221; star Maddie Brown Brush revealed her and husband Caleb Brush&#8217;s 1-year-old daughter, Evie, is &#8220;recovering beautifully&#8221; after having her foot amputated.</p><p>&#8220;Evie received some major gifts for her 1st birthday,&#8221; the 24-year-old TLC star <strong>captioned a picture</strong> with her baby girl from the hospital on Monday. &#8220;Her surgeon laid the groundwork for her new foot and mobility it will bring, by way of a boyd amputation.&#8221;</p><p><strong>According to the National Library of Medicine</strong>, Boyd amputations are used to treat osteomyelitis of the foot, and provide a &#8220;more solid stump because it preserves the function of the plantar heel pad.&#8221;</p><p>Maddie also said of her daughter&#8217;s hand, &#8220;Another gave her some extra mobility in her hand, by clipping her webbing she had in her right hand. She is home and is recovering beautifully.&#8221;</p><p>In October, the reality star <strong>first shared on Instagram</strong> that Evie has FATCO syndrome, which she said was &#8220;a rare medical syndrome where bones in extremities do not fully develop.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;It wasn’t a complete surprise; we were aware of some abnormalities before birth,&#8221; she said. &#8220;We knew something was wrong when we went in for a routine anatomy ultrasound at 26 weeks and what should have taken 45 minutes, ended up lasting a nerve-wracking two hours. It was then that the doctor told us that they couldn’t find all ten fingers and diagnosed the baby with oligodactyly (fewer than 10 fingers).&#8221;</p><p>Maddie said that after Evie&#8217;s birth, she and Caleb discovered that their newborn was missing three fingers, a toe, her fibula, had a bowed tibia, a&nbsp;shortened forearm and some fusing in her fingers.</p><p>&#8220;We were hesitant to share Evie’s condition publicly for fear that our infant daughter would become the target of mean jokes and cyberbullying,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;That said, we felt not being open would be even worse and make Evie feel ashamed for something that makes her all the more special in our eyes.&#8221;</p><p>Caleb and Maddie also share a 3-year-old son, Axel James.</p>]]></content:encoded>
