We found out at our 20 week scan he wasn\u2019t going to have a hand and obviously were shocked and had to come to terms with that before he was born. It is difficult to imagine and you always think of the negative things, and constantly think of things he wouldn\u2019t be able to do, but Cameron has smashed every one of them out the park! He was always a very determined little boy and would manage to find a way around every little thing!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"section image-text\">\n\t<div class=\" image-text__container  row-reverse\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-text__image-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-text__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1731\" height=\"1155\" src=\"https:\/\/openbionics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_2146.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width:100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openbionics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_2146.jpg 1731w, https:\/\/openbionics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_2146-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/openbionics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_2146-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/openbionics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_2146-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/openbionics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_2146-1536x1025.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1731px) 100vw, 1731px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"image-text__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"image-text__title\">&quot;The\u00a0Hero Arm\u00a0is the one thing Cameron has stuck with&quot;<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-text__description\"><p>We have had quite a few different prosthetics! We didn\u2019t go anywhere to find out about a prosthetic until Cameron was 4 and wanted a bike. In the clinic he saw hands and decided at 4 he wanted one, but unfortunately he was too young to understand that this hand was cosmetic only and didn\u2019t DO anything so was most disappointed when he got it and didn\u2019t wear it at all! From there he had attachments made for swinging on gymnastic bars and for bikes or scooters, until they said they could train him for a myoelectric hand which he really wanted. He did all the hours of training and had the cast made for the hand and couldn\u2019t wait for it to arrive but again it didn\u2019t do quite what he wanted, was heavy and not really useful. The\u00a0Hero Arm\u00a0is the one thing Cameron has stuck with and used more than anything he\u2019s previously had.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"section image-text\">\n\t<div class=\" image-text__container \">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-text__image-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-text__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1732\" height=\"1154\" src=\"https:\/\/openbionics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Cameron-Millar-Star-Wars-BB-8-Hero-Arm-Covers-2_small.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Bionic Boy\" style=\"max-width:100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openbionics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Cameron-Millar-Star-Wars-BB-8-Hero-Arm-Covers-2_small.jpg 1732w, https:\/\/openbionics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Cameron-Millar-Star-Wars-BB-8-Hero-Arm-Covers-2_small-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/openbionics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Cameron-Millar-Star-Wars-BB-8-Hero-Arm-Covers-2_small-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/openbionics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Cameron-Millar-Star-Wars-BB-8-Hero-Arm-Covers-2_small-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/openbionics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Cameron-Millar-Star-Wars-BB-8-Hero-Arm-Covers-2_small-1536x1023.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1732px) 100vw, 1732px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"image-text__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"image-text__title\">&quot;People call me Bionic Boy!&quot;<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-text__description\"><p>Cameron says: \u201cThe\u00a0Hero Arm\u00a0means a lot to me because its looks so super cool!
