When Maddie’s T12 vertebrae was fractured in a car accident, she had no choice but to wear a back brace.
But she hated it.
That’s when family friend and theatre group member Sarah had the bright idea to turn the ugly back brace into a piece of steampunk armor.
“My daughter didn’t like the brace she had to wear after surgery, so a friend helped her steampunk it,” mom Linda C. told EPBOT.
“Best part, now folks are intrigued, and come up and ask why she has to wear it rather than just staring.”
Linda says that Maddie is having a “spectacular recovery.”
Which, we’re sure, is helped along by this awesome bit of gear.
Get well soon, Maddie!
