RE: everything seems okay--should i check?

[Guest guest]

Hi Callie-

I sent pictures to Dr. Ponseti. It was worth the peace of mind knowing my

son's foot was corrected and all I had to do was keep it corrected with the

proper hours in the DBB.

If it would make you feel better I would send the pics to Dr. P. It

isn't going to hurt. He will let you know what he thinks and you

will feel better. Are you happy with how your child's feet look?

Do you think things are going well? Listen to your own heart and

head. Sometimes things are ok. There are alot of bad docs out

there but there are alot of good ones too. I have just learned to

listen to my own heart and head and research! Like I said if you

feel something isn't right then I would email Dr. P.
