any moms in Los Angeles with b/club feet?

[Guest guest]

I am new to this group. I have a 9 1/2 months old daughter born with

bilateral club feet. At age 2 weeks, she had the serial casting for 7

weeks. She then had braces until now. At age 3 months, a cast had to

be placed on her left foot for 10 days. At 4 months, she had the

tendon/ligament release surgery. Her left foot is still not flexible

and a cast was placed again twice this month. She may have another one

if there's still no improvement. This is a wait and see situation.

Meanwhile, she's been crawling great with her left cast and right

brace and stands up holding on the superyard gate.

I have asked her orthopedist's assistant if she could stand and later

learn to walk with her braces and she advises to put on regular tennis

shoes to put over her braces. Do you think it is a good advice? She

has tried them yet. Thanks !!! lydmam
