Guest guest Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 We had a check up with Dr. Dobbs on Thursday. He said 's feet look great. He got a new pair of shoes. They weren't open-toed though. For some reason the brace shop at Shriner's in St. Louis does not want to provide those shoes for older children (money, I don't know if that's why or what). They are still Markell straight last, but they are like high top tennis shoes instead. seems to like them. We spent the night that night in St. Louis. So glad because when got up he had a red spot on each big toe. We went back by the brace shop and they worked on the shoes and now they seem to be doing okay. The only thing I can think of with these shoes is we won't be able to see when it's about time for a new pair of shoes and I hope he doesn't end up with athlete's foot or something since these will circulate less air. Dr. Dobbs said he will keep in his shoes until he is four. Also while we were there Dr. Dobbs told us that he has isolated the gene for clubfoot. What an exciting development. Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! Pam and (8-12-01) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Yay !! That is wonderful news. What's this about gene isolation for club feet? Sounds very interesting.
