Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Hi everyone I am also a new member here, My son Gabe was born Oct 30 of 2004 with a right club foot. He has had the casts and the surgery and now is in the dbb. After he was released from teh NICU and I too him home with the cast on I cried for days, I would sit for hours and think what in the world did I do to cause this, my 3 girls were fine.I thought of every medication I took, if I took too hot of baths,everything. It was horriable. But now he is almost 3 months and he has tolerated the shoes ok, he don't like them to say the least, as soon as I take them off he just kicks his legs and smiles.... I have researched club foot until I was blue in the face and then I just came across this group and I am so happy to be able to talk to others who have and are going through this, I only know one other person whose child has this and they really didn't do anything but the casts,so I am relieved to see there are more out there then just me. > > > Hey everyone!
