Trenton Balliger's 4th Birthday

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

Thanks for the birthday wishes and yes he had a wonderful birthday! He had a

the train party with all the fun, including a real train that went up

and down the street. He really enjoyed his party this year, I think four is

such a wonderful age. For those of you wondering how a big boy will do still

wearing the shoes, well Trenton is a perfect example of a big boy and yes he

still wears his shoes at night. He has always been big (not heavy just

stocky), off the charts for weight and height. He now wears 5T and as active

as ever. We had some problems last month where he continually complained

that his feet hurt at night when we put his shoes on. Someone here posted

that some pain may be related to growing pains, and I think that's what some

of your may experience as your children get older. That was difficult, but

now he is back to normal and wears his shoes all the time with an occasional

night off here and there only because he is now 4. Dr. Ponseti says he

doesn't have to wear them anymore, but if he will tolerate them keep

going..so we will.

For those of you at the beginning of your journey hang in there. Looking

back it seems just like yesterday that we started this journey and I can't

believe four years has past so quickly. I don't want him to stop wearing his

shoes.

Take Care,

Charity and Trenton (8-24-00)
