Hello everyone! We are a family of 5 in total - all 3 boys - 2 of whom were born with club foot in one form or another. We just started up a blog about this subject but I won't mention it since I'm not sure yet if it's allowed.

We were young parents... aged 16 & 19 when our second child was born with recurring bilated clubbed foot;
For the first 2 years of his life he went through a myraid of doctors using different techniques. When he was 2 we finally got a Mason to sponser him for the Shriners hospital in San Francisco, (It required sponsership back then).. He was their patient till his last surgery at 17, when they told him they thought he could only have 1 more surgery at about the age of 35...Fast forward to today... he is 36 & in urgent need of the surgery now... he is in immediate danger of cord rupture in his right foot... that is the foot with all the surgery, as well he now needs the surgery in the left foot too. He has other recently discovered problems with the feet that are compounding his situation.

I am the proud mother of 2 beautiful boys. My oldest is now 2.5 years old, and was born with bilateral clubbed feet. He went through casting for approximately 2 months and then had a tenotomy performed. He currently wears a brace at night, but we are having a lot of difficulty with it. I need suggestions on how you all get your children to keep their brace on. He's a big boy (53 pounds), and if we are unable to keep his shoes on him, he may need another surgery and not be able to walk for a couple of months. I am also a military wife, and I am concerned of how to take care of two young children by myself when he may not be able to walk.

For all the parents with babies that have clubfeet, these will help through the casting period BIG TIME! Believe me I know, so I wanted to share it with everyone especially since I have a very good coupon code for them. www.babylegs.net Use these on your baby's casts and with the denis browne bar. I used them to:
The coupon code is "BOGO" ebter it into the coupon code entry before checkout Most of the leggings are $12 each but with this coupon code you can get two for the price of one plus $3 shipping. Stock up! I am. You can make as many individual purchases as you want. Its basically $12 off a purchase of $24 or more in case you're looking at nore expensive pair. Try it, you won't be disapointed
