For those of you who need light at the end of the tunnel...

[Guest guest]

I haven't been able to keep up with the boards lately, but have been

trying to check in at least once a week and do some reading and

responding. Just wanted to let all of you know out there that there is

light at the end of the tunnel!! has 14 nights left to wear his

shoes (he turns four on 8/12). He is pretty excited. We have a

calendar that he marks out a day each night he gets his shoe on. But I

think when he wakes up in the middle of the night he will holler out to

have his shoes put on. Because lately he has been pulling his feet out

in his sleep because the shoes are getting too small and he calls out

to have them put back on.

Yeah!! That is such a great accomplishment, if that is

what you would call it....In all of our cases it is

just what needs to be done and the kids will never

really know there would be any different way... I am

so glad to hear that you made it down the long road

and that things are sounding really good for you!!! I

wish your little guy the best... and that he continues

to do well and that he enjoy his sleeping without his

" shoes " on!!

We are at the begining stages of the shoes wear and

have had a relapse and had to start over when Avery

was 10 months old. I stumbled upon this support group

and got 'talked' out of surgery and I am still so

thankful for that.. we didn't think we could start

over with the casting and shoes because she wouldn't

tolerate them and she is doing WONDERFUL... you would

never guess that we had a problem last fall.... I know

sometimes surgery is not an option but it should be

the last thing that any of us try... So it is so good

to hear about a child who is at the end of the road

with the 'shoes' and had a succesful journey!! Thanks

to Dr. Ponsetti and of course to all of the doctors

who do follow the Ponsetti technique!!

Happy Birthday !!!
