Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I'm so sorry!!! I know that this is not what you wanted to hear at all- but how fortunate that you found this group, did your research and know about this condition- and that you took the time to send the pictures to Dr. Ponseti before any treatment has started at all. There aren't many babies with this condition (or maybe none at all) that they've been able to follow treatment having the diagnosis prior to starting......so maybe Marcus' foot will have no issues whatsoever in that they'll be examining it extra closely and documenting it step by step to see what develops. I hope it goes/went well with Dr. . I'm sure you'll keep us posted!!!!
