In HIS Hands: Mother's Day

Mother's Day

I know this is a bit late but I really wanted to post anyway.

I realize that Mother's Day is not always a happy day for everyone.

For those that have lost their mothers or have buried a child, for those that will never hold their child/children in their arms here on earth, for those who have given birth to their child only to place them in the arms of someone else, for those who desperately want to be a mom but can't, for those who are waiting for their children to come home to them please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

"Fear not for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you... For I am the Lord your God..
~Isiah 43:1-3

Syndactyly is a term to describe webbed fingers or toes. In most cases the webbing is only skin, but in some cases, the bone may be fused together. Surgery is performed to correct the condition.

Polydactyly literally means "extra digits." There may be an extra thumb, small finger, or, less commonly, an extra digit in the central part of the hand. Polydactyly is one of the most common congenital hand anomalies.

Microtia is an incompletely formed ear. It ranges in severity from a bump of tissue to a partially formed ear. In most cases, only one ear is affected. In that case, it is called Unilateral Microtia. If both ears are affected, it is called Bilateral Microtia. In addition to the physical characteristics, there is a possiblitiy of some or all of these problems: About a 40% reduction of hearing in the affected ear, problems locating the direction from which a sound comes and ear infections.
