Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Hi everyone. I am new and want to introduce myself. My name is Marci. I am from Indiana. My husband and I had our first baby, Mollie, in May. She has bilateral clubfoot. We started out going to our local orthopedic dr. After six weeks of casting, he told us he wasn't making any progress and told us to look into getting in a Shriner's hospital. After almost a month of getting paper work gathered up and waiting to hear something, we are now going to Dr. Dobbs in St. Louis. Mollie is now in her second set of casts from him. It is a little hard to be the casts again, but after seeing all the kids there running around like there was never any problem is very encouraging. Also, all the stuff I've read online about the Ponsetti Method helps me think I'm in the right place now. I wish I had known from the beginning, we'd be done with casts by now and in our brace. Not to mention less a $1600 dr bill that was useless. I am very glad to have a place to come to get advice from others that are going through this. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.
