CLUBFOOT BABY GETS CASTED AGAIN AT 4!

Oh boy. I had some P.T.S.D today watching this poor kid get casted again. For those of you who are new here, Niko, baby #7, was born with clubfeet. Technically it was a unilateral clubfoot but they ended up casting both feet because his “normal” foot was very kidney beaned even though it wasn’t officially clubbed. We have had a long journey, me and Niko. He was casted at 2 weeks old, and then every week after that for about 2+ months. He developed awful pressure sores and and painful blisters and one where I had to get the cast off myself and treat a wound like a burn. Then he was out in 23 hour wear for 3 more months-only one hour free, once a day, and when he was casted, it was one bath a week! Sucked. But thanks to @the_orthopedic_partners and Dr. Marcella Woiczik, she is a miracle worker and master clubfoot specialist. She trained learning the #ponsetimethod and unfortunately Niko lies in the 20% of kids who relapse. He fit three of the 4 categories for regression in a clubfoot. Which BITES! So he will be in this cast all the way up his leg to correct the supination for two weeks. Then another cast (midcalf) for two weeks to stretch the Achilles, most likely a unilateral brace at night, and if still no improvement, a tendon transfer surgery. Good gravy that sounds intense and I was close to do that with my wrist when my nerves were literally not function whatsoever. “I’m not getting any signal,” is what the doctor said while conducting a nerve conduction test. I’m currently sitting with him in his bed while he cries from discomfort. Hoping it’s a quick two weeks. His first night as a newborn with a new cast was hell. Then when he was double casted it was even worse. And then putting the braces on and sleeping with that every night for 4 years? It was long and hard and here we are again. But I know he’s in good hands. Just look at the poor kid walk! 😭 Uggggg. Grateful for dedicated doctors (she colored with him for so long) and modern medicine and equipment! #clubfoot#clubfeet#cast#plaster#clubfootcutie#bnb
