Guest guest Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 Congratulations! What wonderful news. Try to relax and get some extra sleep -- you'll need in a few days! I was induced with our son. I hope it goes well for you. You are so fortunate to have your " ducks in a row " so you can start out your son's clubfoot treatment correctly from the start. We experienced four months of bad casting and an unnecessary surgery (that didn't even work!) before we found Dr. Ponseti. I'm sure your son's feet are in good hands with Dr. Feldman as well. And that insurance news is just awesome! So happy for you. Let us know how things go. Suzanne ~ Mom to Sam 4-19-00 left clubfoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 KC- I hope your labor is quick and painless (well as close as possible:)! My last labor was wonderful. I am also a nurse and I have had worse days at work than I did having my last baby! Try to get some rest (even though I know it's hard sometimes at the end of pregnancy). That is such wonderful news about the insurance/doctor. Have you ever lived in KY? I once knew a Kasey from there. Good luck.
