update.

STILL no word from the surgeon as to when his surgery might be.  His feet continue to get worse.  He starting complaining that his knee hurt.  I never even thought about his knee, I jumped straight to thinking it would affect his hips but of course it would hurt his knee before.  I don't like to see him struggle and his winter boots make it that much more difficult to walk.  I think I will make that phone call to his surgeon on monday.  It's tough to judge whether this is normal for relapse or if this is cause for concern.  I'm concerned but I'm his mother, that's my job.  I don't want to waste the doctor's time for him to tell me that he can't do anything and we just have to wait it out until march or april.  I don't believe it CAN wait that long.  I know it's not actually wasting his time and that as a doctor he has to deal with silly parents advocating for their kids because this young the kids can't really understand whats going on and they don't know what to say.  In any case I have to do what I think is best for my child, and that's the way it should be.

On a side note, I wanted to share a link to an excellent article on clubfeet and the Ponsetti method.  Check it out, its full of great information.
