With the Dr. from Childrens that we went to first, when we asked about

success rate, to talk to someone that had had the surgeries and see if they

thought benefits outweighed the negatives etc., we had a 6 month delay,

never

got the records from her first reccommendations, and then at tthe very end

of

the next appt. (free), found out that she had NEVER done this procedure on a

CMT patient, just cerebal palsy ones.......

And my son has a slight rollover on one foot, and tight heel cords, wears

normal shoes, plays basketball,swims, and has no pain in his feet or

legs.....and has had no other interventions yet at all. WHEW!!!! Talk

about the need for a dr. that looks at the whole picture! Martha

This is amazing! What a story. If the kid isn't broke don't fix him.
