Technically it's called...
1:07:08
a congenital longitudinal
deficiency of the radius or "club hand."

1:07:11
Now what that means is... he's missing
one of the two bones in his forearm.

1:07:15
- This one, right here
- Okay.

1:07:19
It's nothing you did.
1:07:21
It's not because you had a glass of wine
in the second month.

1:07:23
It's just something
that happens...

1:07:25
in one out of about
every 300,000 births.

1:07:29
- It's also not genetic.
- Thank God.

1:07:33
- Now, he's gonna need some operations.
- [Gasps]

1:07:36
- How many?
- As many as it takes to make it right.

1:07:39
Look, what I like to say is he's gonna
do better than you expect...

1:07:44
and maybe not as good
as you'd hoped.

1:07:46
- What exactly are you saying?
Will he be able to tie shoes?
- Yes.

1:07:50
- Will he be able to throw a ball?
- Yes. Maybe not a killer curve ball.

1:07:55
Long-sleeve shirts are gonna be
a little tougher to buy.
Now...[Clears Throat]

1:07:59
There are internal complications
associated with this that
we're gonna watch out for.

1:08:04
- Like what?
- Heart problems.

1:08:07
- Lung problems. Kidneys.
- Why?

1:08:10
Because what caused the defect
in the arm could affect
the major organs as they form.

1:08:15
Or, Angela, he could
just sail right through.

1:08:20
The bottom line is... we think
he's gonna be a regular kid.

1:08:29
[Car Approaching]
1:08:33
[Horn Honks]
1:08:42
Keep him covered. Come on,
under the umbrella.

1:08:51
Come on,
you're home now.

1:08:54
Yes, you come right in here.
Oh, I gotta see him for a minute.
