Thanks, ... that's comforting. It's just nerve racking- we feel lucky and

always say.. " if that's that worst thing (clubfoot) that ever happens to him,

he's got it good. " And we hope for even better with our next baby.

Stacie,

I don't think you have anything out of the ordinary to worry about in

having another baby. The odds of having another baby with clubfoot

(just clubfoot, not any other complications) are probably about 3%, or

1 in 30, if you have no other family history. Your odds of having a

baby with other medical conditions aren't increased just because

Jordan had clubfoot.

My firstborn has unilateral clubfoot, my next two don't have any

health issues, and we don't have any family history of clubfoot that I

know of.

I hope this helps!
