Hi! I think that the little that you are talking about is

. She is at the RMH in Iowa City with us now. She is such a

sweet little , and is riding a bike around the house! Her feet

are beautiful!

Unfortunately, a lot of us went to doctors that we were told that we

could trust, and until we realized that things weren't going well, we

did not find this site, or information about Dr. POnseti and his

wonderful work until later.
