That's just plain scary. Is there another doc in your area where you could

take Dr. Ponseti's info and get a second opinion? Or perhaps get him

treated by a doc that has experience with atypical CF? If Dr. P. says it's

atypical and needs the other shoes you're setting yourself up for failure

and distress (perhaps pain for Kody with shoes that slip and cause

sores/blisters) and I would absolutely heed Dr. P's advice here. I would

also question the application of the casts and the technique. I would be

concerned that the foot did not get the proper correction personally. It

also does seem weird to change the cast so early. Even without the

tenotomy my daughter was in her last cast over 2w. Can you get to

Iowa? At this point, after learning what I have about this atypical CF it

appears that these feet were the 5% that needed surgery however now Dr.

Ponseti feels that they can be corrected and stay corrected with a little

extra special care and tweaking. But since it seems a lot of docs are

still modifying thinking they know more/better I wouldn't trust just any

doc to take care of it. I hate to say it, but I probably wouldn't trust

our doc with this diagnosis unless he was communicating directly with Dr.

Ponseti and following his advice in regards to my daughters specific

care. I would likely find some way to get to Iowa if it were me.

Well, that's just my take on it all. It sounds really strange to hear Dr.

Ponseti say the casts look sloppy... ouch! Must mean something... Best of

luck to you in whatever decision you make.

Hi -

I assume this is Dr. King in Tarzana...right??? If so he is fully aware of

the Ponseti protocol on keeping the casts on for three weeks after the

tenonomy. What did he say when you questioned him about only having Kody in

it for a week??? Also what was his reason for saying 3-4 weeks and then

changing his mind down to a week??? None of this makes any sense to me.

Make sure you are questing him on everything. I would tell Dr. King you are

in touch with Dr. P and are now aware your son has " atypical " clubfoot and

how many cases of " atypical " clubfeet has he treated. I would then make my

decision to take Kody to another doctor if he has not fixed this type of

clubfoot before. Even with the best (meaning Dr. P) it can be a challenging

foot to correct, but it is correctible. I've heard the shoes

are a must in this case! It doesn't sound like Dr. King is looking out for

Kody as he should. I strongly suggest another opinion from Dr. Colburn in

the bay area. We live in Temecula (which is just north of San Diego) and

travel to the bay area to see him. Many people say and I agree that he is

the best on the west coast. He would be more than happy to discuss any

concerns with you by phone. When I had problems with my San Diego doctor I

called him because I was urged to from Charity on this board. He spent over

45 minutes with me and validated all my concerns. I'm so grateful I listen

to my intuition and changed doctors. We've been with Dr. C since my son was

12 weeks old (he is now 2yrs 4 months) and I'm so grateful. Just last Friday

I had a concern at 5:15pm and emailed Dr. C thinking I would hear back from

his after the weekend. He emailed me at 6:00pm Firday night about my

concern. My first doctor never took the time to explain things to me or put

my mind at ease. Dr. Colburn walks me through everything and always gets

back to me by email or phone with any concerns or questions I have. He is

truly at top notch doctor. He is with Kaiser but does take patients who are

not from Kaiser like ourselves. Here is his contact info:

,

I am so sorry things turned out this way for you. We also

experienced our baby screaming wildly during the tenotomy--isn't it

awful? I know how stressful it all is when different docs are

telling you different things. Taking off the post-tenotomy casts

after one week seems very premature to me. It seems there has been

some variation between 2 and 3 weeks (my son's were taken off at 2

weeks) but 1 week seems risky to me. Maybe the dr. realized that his

casts were not so great and wanted to get them changed. I think I

would take Kody, bad casts and all, to another doctor (preferrably

off the Ponseti list) to get some more input on what would be best:

leaving the bad casts for at least another week, or getting them off

of there and replacing them with good ones ASAP. Are these casts

rotated to a good degree even if they look strange? Evan's were

rotated outward and toes up more than any of his other casts. The

purpose of the tenotomy will not be achieved if the rotation and

angle are not correct as it heals.

Let us know what happens. We're sending lots of good wishes your way.

and Evan (8-17-00 bcf)
