Clubfeet Photos–Mid-process Photos

Today Mason had another appointment with the ortho clinic for his clubfeet.  I remembered to bring my camera along so I was able to get a photo of his feet before they were covered again.  For a refresher, here is a photo of Mason’s feet from 2 weeks ago, the day before his first set of casts:  Here are his feet today after just 2 rounds of casts: Isn’t it amazing the difference?  His feet are no longer turned inward at all!  He’s done really well with the corrections.  As a matter of fact Dr. K decided to go ahead and move Mason to the last set of casts before bracing, called holding casts.  Here they are: 

Mason will be in these casts for 3 weeks instead of 1.  The day we go get them sawed off he will go to the orthotist/protestitian to get foot braces like this:

He’ll wear those braces 23 hours a day for 3 or 4 months, then less and less, working down to wearing them just when he sleeps.  He’ll be in the braces for 2-5 years. 

It’s been a huge blessing to see how well Mason has done through this process.  I’m so grateful!
