We saw the ponseti Doc today!

[Guest guest]

I am so relieved! We went and saw the Ponseti Doctor today in london

and he was fantastic. had his first x-rays done today and he

is 15 months old.

The dr. says the his bone structure is good and with 3 or 4 more

casts we will be able to tell if his feet will respond to the

casts. If they don't he says they will have to lengthen the tendons

in the back of the foot. He also said they may have to move a

tendon on the top of his left foot to allow the foot to turn the

proper way. he said he doesn't think he will need surgery at all

since it is just the tendons and ligaments that are causing the

problems. Our non-ponseti doc wanted to do surgery on both feet....

what a sigh of relief.

JOhn actually fell asleep while they were putting the cast on! I am

so thrilled. We did have to wait 4 hours to get in but it was worth

it! We go back in one week for new casts.

are you from Texas? I was just talking to the Mc house

volunteer (Jim Gulland) who will work at the house tonight, he's a wonderful old

friennd of ours. He said a Texas family was there to see Dr. Ponseti. Sorry

you had to wait so long but yes, well worth it, you won't regret it! Best of

luck through the week!
