Re: For those just starting out on the clubfoot journey-

[Guest guest]

,

is OMG such a doll! Those pics are absolutely fantastic. Oh, and

her foot looks just fabulous. There's no way to tell it was ever any

different. I don't even know which one it was! (didn't look at the photo

section yet).

Thank you, thank you for showing this. Are you going to keep this page for

a while? Would you put a link in the links section here and on the CFPics

group? This is just so inspiring! As well as being very nice pics. She's

just beautiful.

What a beautiful girl! You certainly display your pride in her, the

way you write. Brings tear to my eyes. Just last night Vinny stood

up from squatting all by himself without holding anything. To look

at him stand on those little feet that used to face bottoms up is

like looking at a miracle. I can't wait to get Vinny's site done so

I can share him as well.

Take care!

is beautiful ! What a sweet little girl. Thank you for

sharing these inspiring photos. I know that when we started our

research two and a half years ago, it was photos like these that

made us pursue the Ponseti method. It's still inspiring to me to

see where Olivia may be in another year and a half even with her

current relapse issues!

Thanks so much!

are beautiful and perfect. I took my son's three month photo and 6 month
