Guest guest Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 Welcome Ally and ! I am fairly new to the board myself. I also had a son, Peyton, on 01/29/02 as well! He was born with bilateral clubfoot and we are seeking treatment with Dr. at the Shriner's Hospital in Minneapolis. He's only in his second cast because we had to wait ten days between his first and second castings. I am fortunate to have learned about this in our ultrasound and so we had everything ready to go when he arrived. He doesn't seem to mind the casts that much because he got the first one at six days old, so he doesn't really know differently. How has been responding to them? We are from South Dakota -- I envy the nice weather you must be having down in Florida!! Our winter has been very mild, so I shouldn't complain, but I recall a spring break trip to Florida and how wonderful the weather was there in mid-March. You'll have to keep me posted on your son's progress -- being born the same day, so far away -- they have a lot in common!! Kari and Peyton > Hi.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 Congratulations! WElcome! My daughter is 10 1/2 months old now and we live in Virginia. Unfortunately, we did not find this list until after she was in the DBB/FAB, do there were times when we were struggling and feeling our way through it. It's nice to have people with experience to help us through the challenges and celebrate the successes! I'm so glad things are going so well for you. It's great that you were able to get treatment right away. Good luck with everything and if you have any questions or problems, the members of this list are an excellent resource!

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 Welcome Allyson. I used to live in the Tampa Bay area and know there are a few families here from Florida, though I'm not sure how often they post. I'm sure you'll find this site a great resource. Best of luck to your son. Lorna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 Hi Allyson I too had a son born with a mild left clubfoot. (born 01-11-02). He had a series of casts from 3 weeks old to 8 weeks old by a non-Ponseti method doctor. At 9 mos. old, we switched to a Ponseti method Dr. and my son has been wearing the DBB at night since then. His foot looks better than ever, and he even started walking at 11 months old. So hang in there, and good luck with your baby boy!! --- AllysonM wrote: > Hi.
