Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Hello everyone, Im new to this group and just wanted to say hello. We are in Sydney, Australia and this is my first baby. My husband was also born with clubfoot 26 years ago and we picked up the talipes in the baby on my 18wk ultrasound. My son was born with bi-lateral talipes and is currently 14wks old (3 months. He was put into his first plaster cast at 3 days old and had them changed every week till he was 11 weeks. Just before Xmas he had his Heel release surgery done and yesterday he got his final plasters removed. There is a great improvement in his right foot but his left is still showing a bit of a curve upwards. The specialist, Dr Bellemore, is happy with the results and has instructed us to do some daytime streches with his feet and to wear the open-toed boots and bar at nights only. We are waiting on getting the boots in. Due to the xmas hilodays the specialist shoe places arent open till next week so we have t wait it out. Im really anxious to get him into those shoes at night - i really want to get that left foot to improve! Anyway, i look forward to sharing more experiences with you all and wish you all good health and a safe New Year. Nisha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
