I feel sorry for him.

bamafan
My wife took our son to The Children's Hospital in New Orleans today. He has a case of clubbed feet. They are not real bad, but enought to need them taken care of early. They had to put a cast on his legs, and he has to get it changed every week. It is a litle inconvenient to have to drive to New Orleans every week (about 90 miles one way), but it will be worth it in the long run. The cast has his feet turned the way they are supposed to be, and has the tendons in his ankles stretched tight. It hurts him so bad when he tries to move, he just lets out this blood curtling scream. I hate for him to be in pain, but I guess it has to be done. Gotta go. He's hungry.

    Hang in there. It is for the best in the long run. We spent LOTS of time at Shriners. Our son is great now, but it was really tough on mom and dad at the time. Kids do well, better than we would with the same problem. Will lift you in our prayers.

    I am so sorry to hear what you guys are dealing with. I am glad you got on it early....it really is a LOT easier to deal with anything like this while they are little. My mother has saved some strange "bracket" thing-a-ma-jig that was mine when I was a baby. It held my feet in place while I slept as a baby. She said my legs flopped out of joint before I wore it. Good thing about it is I can't remember a thing and my joints aren't floppy. I think babies are the toughest little boogers on earth. Keep us posted on how you guys are doing.

    Yup. I was a little Forrest Gump myself. Had the cast then the special shoes with the brace in between. This was way back 1968. Don't remember it and my Momma don't talk about it. Don't even have any pictures. I turned out alright. Have a pretty set of legs infact. Too bad the feets are as flat as pancakes.
    Little man will be alright, you just hang in there. I know how you feel when the chitlins are uncomfortable.

    Knowing that it needs to be done, does not make it any easier, when they are in pain. Hang in there, it WILL be worth it in the long run.
