They cause her pain. 00:03:38.203 --> 00:03:42.150 They don't look very comfortable at all to walk on. 00:03:42.150 --> 00:03:45.208 And they're damaging the rest of her body. 00:03:50.756 --> 00:03:54.486 Because she has no bend in her foot to get herself forward, 00:03:54.486 --> 00:03:58.269 she twists her hips and so she sashays on tiptoes. 00:03:58.269 --> 00:04:01.668 Recently she's started to get pain in her hip. 00:04:07.193 --> 00:04:09.646 If she's on her feet a lot during the day... 00:04:09.646 --> 00:04:16.097 then at night it will come back with a vengeance and she'll be really sore. 00:04:16.097 --> 00:04:19.252 And she will have broken sleep. 00:04:21.442 --> 00:04:23.542 When she was seven days old... 00:04:23.542 --> 00:04:27.185 an orthopaedic surgeon put her in full leg casts. 00:04:27.990 --> 00:04:31.428 When she was four months old, she had a tendon release surgery. 00:04:31.428 --> 00:04:34.863 Then immediately after that she went into DB boots. 00:04:35.593 --> 00:04:39.202 It was really painful because I had to push her feet down into right angle. 00:04:39.202 --> 00:04:41.742 So there was lots of screaming. 00:04:42.944 --> 00:04:46.538 When she was two, she had a huge surgery, 00:04:46.538 --> 00:04:50.755 which was a total foot reconstruction on both sides. 00:04:50.755 --> 00:04:53.900 They took the cast off and she couldn't even place her foot in my hand. 00:04:53.900 --> 00:04:55.923 It was so sensitive. 00:04:55.923 --> 00:04:59.215 And five minutes later after that appointment we were sent to orthotics 00:04:59.215 --> 00:05:01.633 to force her feet back in those boots. 00:05:04.067 --> 00:05:06.620 And so we would put them on at 9pm at night, 00:05:06.620 --> 00:05:10.313 she'd scream in pain until about 5am in the morning. 00:05:10.313 --> 00:05:12.911 Then we'd take them off and then she's sleep for four hours. 00:05:12.911 --> 00:05:15.147 And then she would have a four hour sleep in the afternoon. 00:05:15.147 --> 00:05:17.943 And at 9pm we'd put them on again and there'd be screaming. 00:05:19.361 --> 00:05:22.948 So when she was finally able to put weight on them and they were flat. 00:05:22.948 --> 00:05:25.396 It was for three weeks that she was able to wear shoes 00:05:25.396 --> 00:05:28.115 and they were flat and then they started to go back again. 00:05:36.125 --> 00:05:40.549 After four years of struggling with surgeries and her pain, 00:05:40.549 --> 00:05:45.648 also realising that she'll probably end up with badly damaged hips, 00:05:45.648 --> 00:05:48.413 having curvature of the spine, benig in a wheelchair, 00:05:48.413 --> 00:05:54.702 being really inactive and being an angry person who's always in pain. 00:05:55.442 --> 00:05:58.882 We just thought that surely amputation would be a better option. 00:05:59.317 --> 00:06:01.411 Bea: You get them on like this. 00:06:02.952 --> 00:06:08.813 I really like them because they look cool with my skirt. 00:06:11.544 --> 00:06:13.768 Let's play hide and seek. 00:06:19.037 --> 00:06:22.017 It's a big decision to make... 00:06:22.017 --> 00:06:24.730 but it's a big decision to decide to have a child. 00:06:24.730 --> 00:06:28.896 You have to make a decision and this is the decision that we're deciding to make. 00:06:28.896 --> 00:06:33.848 You'd be inhuman to feel like it was easy and to not have doubts. 00:06:39.402 --> 00:06:45.698 By doing the amputation, hopefully it's a one off thing, 00:06:45.698 --> 00:06:50.581 and then she gets the prosthetics and then she has a great childhood. 00:06:50.581 --> 00:06:56.705 She'll be more able bodied with prosthetics than without. 00:07:57.821 --> 00:07:59.611 Have a good day at school. 00:07:59.971 --> 00:08:00.689 See ya. 00:08:00.689 --> 00:08:01.529 Love you. 00:08:01.529 --> 00:08:03.111 Love you too. 00:08:06.341 --> 00:08:07.621 Bye dad. 00:08:12.690 --> 00:08:16.608 Socially, I think that Bea sometimes struggles... 00:08:16.608 --> 00:08:20.082 because all through kindy and through that time of her life... 00:08:20.082 --> 00:08:22.112 she was always in pain. 00:08:22.112 --> 00:08:27.597 So to play freely it's a distracting pain. 00:08:30.602 --> 00:08:35.378 Bea: At school I feel confidant and not confidant at the same time. 00:08:35.378 --> 00:08:38.598 Like I'm in between. 00:08:45.493 --> 00:08:49.805 In school there's this friend called Kimberly, 00:08:49.805 --> 00:08:53.545 and she makes me so happy. 00:08:54.068 --> 00:08:56.038 Good morning Bea. 00:08:57.090 --> 00:08:58.975 Have a lovely day. 00:09:00.040 --> 00:09:04.231 Kimberly is my best friend that I can remember. 00:09:04.998 --> 00:09:07.758 Also are Makayla and Jasmine. 00:09:19.431 --> 00:09:23.600 Kimberly and Bea met when Kimberly came into class... 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.383 and her desk was put facing Bea's desk. 00:09:26.383 --> 00:09:29.402 Bea said that they looked at each other... 00:09:29.402 --> 00:09:31.373 and Bea saw Kimberly's hearing aides... 00:09:31.373 --> 00:09:32.999 and Kimberly looked at Bea's feet. 00:09:32.999 --> 00:09:35.422 And then Kimberly said, "We're made for each other." 00:09:39.658 --> 00:09:42.270 Kimberly is very protective of Bea, 00:09:42.270 --> 00:09:45.017 and sometimes she comes out with really wonderful things like... 00:09:45.017 --> 00:09:50.065 "You can play with me but you just be yourself and do what you want to do." 00:09:50.065 --> 00:09:51.332 Things like that. 00:09:59.896 --> 00:10:03.921 Bea: In the playground when I play with my friends 00:10:03.921 --> 00:10:07.611 I feel like a team, like in the group. 00:10:07.611 --> 00:10:12.117 And I feel like I can do anything with them. 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:22.162 Her strength is nothing I've ever seen before in an adult or a child. 00:10:24.455 --> 00:10:26.585 She biked to school... 00:10:26.585 --> 00:10:30.288 she was determined to bike to school when she was six. 00:10:30.288 --> 00:10:35.366 And she was sweating and her face was really serious. 00:10:35.802 --> 00:10:38.999 And she was riding this little bike with trainer wheels 00:10:38.999 --> 00:10:41.584 and it was chunky concrete. 00:10:41.584 --> 00:10:44.138 And I was saying to her, "Are you alright?" 00:10:44.138 --> 00:10:45.785 And she was just saying, "I'm great." 00:10:45.785 --> 00:10:47.455 And she biked the whole way to school. 00:10:47.455 --> 00:10:49.686 She would have been so sore and awkward... 00:10:49.686 --> 00:10:53.069 but she refused to stop. 00:10:57.003 --> 00:10:59.743 The thing that I like about Napier and Hawkes Bay 00:10:59.743 --> 00:11:04.267 is that there are heaps of shops that you can go shopping in. 00:11:04.267 --> 00:11:06.170 That's my favourite part. 00:11:07.230 --> 00:11:09.803 Inflatable World is my favourite place. 00:11:09.803 --> 00:11:14.042 I've been there it's very fun. 00:11:14.612 --> 00:11:18.481 But I hate it when I have to race against my friend to climb up. 00:11:18.481 --> 00:11:20.325 I always lose. 00:11:21.215 --> 00:11:22.245 Same. 00:11:25.135 --> 00:11:30.066 Having no feet feels like... 00:11:34.367 --> 00:11:41.848 like I have no things to stable me up. 00:11:42.860 --> 00:11:49.356 Because I always wobbly a bit when I stand still. 00:11:49.726 --> 00:11:54.487 So I can't be stable. 00:11:55.258 --> 00:11:57.194 It feels sad doesn't it. 00:11:57.194 --> 00:11:58.493 Hmmm. 00:11:59.598 --> 00:12:03.570 But it also feels exciting because I run quite fast. 00:12:03.570 --> 00:12:05.154 Yeah you do. 00:12:12.557 --> 00:12:14.755 Kimberly: My flavour is boysenberry. What's yours? 00:12:14.755 --> 00:12:20.258 Bea: My flavour is Mute, it's chocolate chip and it's a double scoop! 00:12:20.258 --> 00:12:23.230 And cookies and cream. 00:12:23.230 --> 00:12:26.106 Yum it tastes delicious. 00:12:28.345 --> 00:12:30.935 What are you going to be when you grow up?
