A pediatrician who saw her in the hospital suggested it might be as a result of amniotic banding where a part of the sac cuts off circulation to the area affected. They are setting up appointments for us with a genetics specialist; I suppose to rule out any other genetic abnormalities. However I am most concerned about her balance and future ability to walk. Is there another specialist we should see or do you know of any other resources I may contact for further information?

I suggest an orthopedic surgeon. As for other resource, try the nearest Shriner's hospital -- tehy have excellent specialists, support groups, and information.
