Cast off

Well the day is finally here. It didn't take as long as I thought it would. He was getting cold and scaring me so I just ripped those suckers off. Marlee Anne said mommie you are strong. LOL!!! I just cried when I saw his beautiful little feet. Thank you Dr. Ponseti, Maria & Joyce! Thank you God for blessing us with these wonderful people in our lives. Thanks to 7 amazing weeks in Iowa. I am so very thrilled with it all.

His legs are much skinner than I was expecting. I was hoping to start giving him his growth hormone injection each night in his thigh again. I think that will have to wait a little while.

He is now wearing his shoes and sound a sleep. I so hope that's a good sign. We wore him out. I hope that he will be comfortable in his shoes and not have a hard time with them.

Thanks so much for supporting us on this first part of our clubfoot journey. On to the next phase. I have attached some pictures of his precious little feet and in his new shoes. He now owns the most expensive pair of shoes in our family.
