Hey Tabitha:

So glad Karter is doing well. trust Dr. Ponseti on the tenotomy. I know how

you feel about goiong down in hours for the shoes. We are at a point of the

same and we are so scared to do it. We see Dr. Ponseti in December.

Tabitha,

I am so glad to hear that Karter's feet are doing better. I have been

wondering. Give those sores a few more months, they may surprise you yet.

Babies heal well. I thought Tenny's foot would scar in a few places, one spot

did, but the rest a beautiful...... Just took a few months. Isn't reduced time

wonderful...

hello all...question

My son Karter, 15 months, has blcf. Have started seeing Dr. P.

Anyway he has been recasted 4 times since his first sets at birth.

We see Dr. P. again on Mon. He has never had a tenotomy. He feet

correct easily with the casts, but also relapse easily if out of

shoes for any amount of time. My question is since he keeps

relapsing would the temotomy fix this problem. He was to have the

tenotomy, but Dr. P. felt he did not need it. He is now to be in

shoes 16-18 hours a day, but we are still doing 20-22 for the fact

that I am so scared that he will relapse.

To all that helped a few weeks ago when Karter had terrible sores on

his feet. THANK YOU!!! His feet look better, but it looks like we

will have scares. The sore that was on the top of his foot will

scare for sure and also seems to be swollen. Will see what Dr. P.

thinks on Monday.

Last... ee You are a wonderful person and a very good mother

and friend for helping everyone on this board. We to are thinking,

just thinking, of having another child. For us it was never a issue

if he/she will have cf, but more the $$$ involved with the treatment.
