Re: Just an idea

Hi Shelly, I know how you're feeling. I've had similar frustrations.

I am at least planning on sending out an email to everyone in my

family to spread the word on this 'new' treatment method because

there are so many incidences of clubfoot in the family. I want

my cousins, neices, nephews to know what to look for if their time

comes to get treatment for their babies. My little guy just got his

first DBB shoes yesterday so when he's into the only night and naps

bracing period and I can prove the success of treatment with photos

I'm sending it out to everyone I know! Plus I want to share with my

church family that a miracle can happen instantly OR over 5-7 weeks

of casting with proper medical care and PRAYER!
