Sister Wives star Maddie Brown Brush was shown in yesterday’s episode giving birth to her daughter Evangalynn Kodi Brush. Maddie’s labor was less stressful this time than with her labor and delivery of her son Axel James Brush. Her biggest stress was when her husband Caleb Brush would get to the birthing center. In many ways, little Evie Brush, as they now call their daughter, waited for her daddy to arrive before making her entrance to the world.

Maddie Brush revealed before the current season of Sister Wives debuted her daughter was born with FATCO (Fibular aplasia, tibial campomelia, and oligosyndactyly) syndrome. It is a rare condition that causes limbs to be malformed. Although baby Evie Brush was born on August 20, 2109, her birth was not shown on screen until last night. However, April is Limb Awareness month. So, doting momma Maddie Brush is using this as her chance to inform fans and followers about this rare genetic disorder.

Sister Wives: Maddie Brown Brush Has Mom Guilt Over Baby’s Condition

Sister Wives’ mom of two Maddie Brown Brush initially felt “mom guilt” when she learned her child Evangalynn Kodi would be born missing bones, fingers and have a multitude of health issues throughout her life. Maddie wondered if it was something she did that caused the defect. Of course, there was nothing Maddie could’ve done differently. It’s just a rare disorder out of her control.

Initially, the Sister Wives alum debated even sharing the baby’s diagnosis with the world. People are cruel, especially on the internet. Maddie didn’t want to deal with online trolls and haters. However, she was in a no-win situation. So she decided to take control of the narrative and share Evie K’s diagnosis. Maddie felt that hiding it would create more problems. They feared Evie Brush would be the target of unkind jokes and memes. Additionally, they felt their silence could cause Evie Brush to be ashamed of herself. So you can see the many levels of mom guilt Maddie battled just months after giving birth.
