Re: curve in corrected foot - question and pix

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the link, Carol. I had seen that page before but could

never again find it. Now, I've bookmarked it. Anyway, I'm

wondering if it is a slight case. It kinda looks like it. I'm

going to post a couple of pix to cfphotos and see if others are

seeing (or have seen) the same thing in their babies. I guess it

wouldn't hurt to send some pix to Dr. Ponseti also. ???

Thanks to everyone for the input!

For sure you can send pics to Dr. Ponseti. I just did that the other day

regarding a concern with 's toes. He replies to all emails, as I

understand.

I was not able to view the pic you posted...my darn computer rejects large

folders sometimes. Sorry I couldn't look at it. Maybe you could send it

directly to me and I could see it. I can send you 's MA before correction

as a comparison. Just email me off list and let me know.

Lucas' foot does the same thing- looks just like the pics. Dr.

Ponseti said it was a tight muscle across the front that pulls the

foot in and that once he starts walking it'll loosen up some.

I went to this site and tried to see the pictures but it gave me an

error. I tried to report the error as instructed on the site but was

not able to do so. Does anyone have the correct link?

Thanks,

I am getting an error on the link as well. I would love to see the pics if

anyone has it.

Try cutting and pasting the link into your browser. When the link is

too long and breaks into two lines in the message, it doesn't pick up

the second half of the url address when you try to click on it (you'll

see that only part of the link is highlighted).
