Hi everyone,

Greetings from the Mc house in Iowa. My husband and I took

our daughter to see Dr. Ponseti and Morcuende this morning and

she had a second tenotomy. It is amazing how brave that little is.

She cried a lot during the procedure but after her usual nap she is the

same happy baby.

got fitted for AFO's this time. The doctors told us that since

she doesn't flex her feet upwards, the heel cord has not stretched out

enough. Therefore, she is going to use the AFO's full time once she

comes out of the casts. Anyone out there in a similar situation? How do

they work? Do they help and if so, what happens if the baby never

flexes the foot beyond 90 degrees on her own? has bilateral

atypical clubfeet and is 9 months old.

Thank you for your help,

andra
