If you want an alternative to repeat major surgery on Ellie feet's please let me know. I can give you the name and email address of a specialist who never resorts to clubfoot surgery (posterior-medial releases), his approach to arthrogrypotic clubfoot is different than the 'model' I grew up under and that most doctors still use, which is surgery at 1 or 2 and the same surgery or a bigger surgery again at 8-9 and maybe even fusion at 12 or skeletal maturity depending on the degree of regression. The time in casts is still pretty close to the same b/c he uses Ponseti Casting and achilles tentomies but he is more aggressive with the manipulations. He regularly fully corrects the feet of 8-9 yr olds with AMC who have neglected clubfeet because they were born abroad. Have her doctors talked to you about scar tissue and stiffness of her feet long-term?

I know that times are tough, but know that God is stronger and tougher than any of the circumstances. He will carry you through. We will be right there with you in a few weeks and I am struggling with this surgery as well for Eli. It was encouraging to me to see I am not the only one that worries about the surgeries and the recovery time for our kiddos. I will be praying alongside you!The Reeves bunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16452581296205951916noreply@blogger.com
