August 27, 2012. First Orthopedic visit!

I want to make this quick, as we are all tired tonight!  Luke had his first visit with his Orthopedic Doctor... the most recommended doctor in the region!  It was a very long day, but I wanted to tell Luke, family, and friends just this... We love our doctor, PA, and nurses.  They are all kind, and super excited about Luke!  We were at our appointment for most of the day, and Luke really never complained!  Just a few fusses here and there. What I want to say is that everyone who met the baby thought he looked amazing! The entire Orthopedic Department caught wind of Luke, to witness how mild his feet are! They told me, that knowing we were coming to visit, they were all a bit worried because he is older than most children who need treatment for double club feet! They could not have been more excited to examine Luke's feet, and tell me that they have never seen such a wonderful, mild case of orthopedic need! We will do an MRI to rule out spinal issues, but the Doctor thinks this will not change our plan. Our plan is that Luke is in such wonderful shape, that he will not even need the serial casting! We will schedule the heal tendon surgery, based on MRI results. That means that Luke has the most surprising, amazing, fixable feet that they have ever seen!  I am being repetitive in saying, this baby boy is blessed, and a blessed gift to Grandma and I!  What a great day!
