Boy born with missing limbs learns to cope with courage
The Mason family of Great Bend describes five year old David Mason who was born without the lower parts of both legs and with a deformed left hand. Doctors at Shriner's Hospital in St. Louis fashioned prosthetics after early surgery. The family covers many costs privately as insurance excludes pre existing conditions. David remains active, though often tired after school. His parents strive for independence and acceptance, inviting supportive conversation over pity.
