Guest guest Posted March 2, 2000 Report Share Posted March 2, 2000 Hi. I am new to the group. My name is Kelli. My fourth child, r, was born on January 4, 2000 with bilateral club feet. I only just realized how fortunate we are. We moved from Colorado to Cedar Rapids more than a year before r was born. When r's feet were detected on an ultrasound I was sent to Iowa City to consult with Dr. Dietz. I never knew there were any other treatments for club feet other than the Ponseti method. I got the best treatment for my son from the beginning and only had to travel 1/2 hour each way. What a blessing it was that we moved here!!! r just got the brace on Monday (yea, casts are gone!). He seems to be doing better now, he really seemed uncomfortable in it at first. I'm having trouble with the car seat though. His legs just aren't long enough for his toes to be beyond the end of the car seat. Hopefully as he grows this won't be a problem any more. Any suggestions in the mean time? Thanks for telling me about this group. Kelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
