And we have a walker.......

[Guest guest]

Dear Calvin started walking a couple of weeks ago, at nearly 17

months. I would have posted sooner but I have just been enjoying

it. Thank you, thank you to Dr. Ponseti and all of the people on

this board.

So exciting, and what a road it's been....

One question--when your kids started walking did they walk

exactly " normal " ? He looks pretty much like a duck (feet pointing

out).

Actually I guess there are two questions--do your kids keep their

feet plantigrade (flat to the floor) all the time? His feet look

great and are flexible, and when he walks they are flat to the floor,

but sometimes when he stands still I'll see him roll the foot a

little like he is putting more weight on the outside of the foot. I

notice that I even do this myself sometimes, but I guess I'm leery of

seeing him do it because of the whole relapse thing.

Congratulations Calvin!! Yaaaay!!! That is fabulous news!! I can imagine

how exciting this must have been for you and Calvin especially :-) All

the more special when you think of all that they (and we as parents) have

been through to get there!!

Congratulations, Calvin!

It's an especially sweet milestone after all they've been thorough,

isn't it?

Many kids have the outward " Charlie Chaplin " look when they first

start walking, from the overcorrection .. As time passes and they

walk more, it goes away.

About his sometimes standing on the outside border of the foot.. I

would say to keep an eye on it, and if you are concerned to send some

pictures to Dr. Ponseti. It could just be that he's still kind of

unsteady, and nothing to worry about, but if you keep seeing it, it

couldn't hurt to ask..

Good luck!
