Description:
A mum and dad made the agonising decision to let doctors amputate her son's toes - so he could finally take his first steps.<br/><br/>Brodie Arbon-Davis, one, was born with the PIK3CA mutation - a rare condition which causes blood vessel and lymphatic malformation on the bottom half of his body.<br/><br/>It means his feet were filled with fluid, his blood vessels were malformed and scans showed he only had two functioning toes on each foot.<br/><br/>It left him in agony - and doctors told his mum, Holly-Louise Mackie, 26, that the tot would never walk unaided or wear shoes. <br/><br/>But she took a chance and in November last year, Brodie had surgery to amputate his toes in the hope it would reduce pain, thus allow him to walk.<br/><br/>He tried to walk just hours after the op - and it was a huge success. <br/><br/>Now, despite the odds, Brodie is walking unaided and has started nursery.<br/><br/>Holly-Louise, a full-time mum, from Dover, Kent, said: “Brodie was born this way - and it’s a blessing in disguise. <br/><br/>\
