Kori,

In the " Files " section here, see " Pictures of Dinos' Feet. " There

are pictures of Dinos standing, front and back views, immediately

after correction. I don't have one after correction with his feet

hanging down, but it might be useful for you to see the photo of

Dinos with Dr. Ponseti, labeled " before re-casting, " because Dr. P

is holding Dinos with his feet hanging down and I think it's fairly

obvious, particularly with the left foot, that the correction was

not complete. That photo was after tenotomy and after a failed

attempt at the DBB, when we took him to Dr. P for recasting.

Needless to say, his feet are now perfect! Good luck to the other

mom, from us. You are so wonderful to help her out.
