Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 We saw Dr. Herzenberg today and he is on the fence regarding a tendon transfer for Christian. That was great news for me! Last time we were there he really believed it was going to be necessary. Now he wants us to come to his conference at the end of August so all of the doctors there and look at Christian's foot and give their opinions on whether or not he will need the surgery. I am feeling MUCH more confident than I was before. Mommy to (12/17/98) and Christian (1/30/04) LCF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 That is really terrific! It would be so wonderful to avoid that surgery if possible. I have been wondering what the criteria is for determining if the tendon transfer is needed. is just an infant but her feet are a bit atypical and it is a thought in my mind that this could be a part of our future.
