New to forum - Anyone live in Tampa Bay area?

[Guest guest]

Hi. My name is and last week my husband and I were told

that our unborn child has bilateral club feet. I am 21 weeks pregnant

and this is our first child. We are waiting on results from an amnio

to make sure there are no accompanying problems.

Reading the posts here have greatly alleviated my fears and my guilt

and my shame at my reaction to finding out there was a problem with my

baby. I have spent, it seems like, an entire week on the internet

researching and reading about CF. I have ready many,many positive

things about the Ponseti method and will seek a Dr. trained in this

method to treat my child.

On the University of Iowa website it lists two doctors in Tampa , who

practice at the Shriners Hospital, and are trained in the Ponseti

method. I was wondering if anyone here is from Florida and what Dr's

they used. Has anyone been treated at any Shriners Hospital or

specifically the one in Tampa?

I look forward to reading more about all of you and your experiences

as my pregnancy progresses. And I am positive you will all be a God

send when my baby is born and starting treatment and I need advice or

just to vent.

Thanks in advance.
