Luke's first casting

Well Luke got his cast on Monday and was such a trooper! I think it hurt Aaron and I more to watch him go through this than it did for him to experience. Here is the before picture to show you how severe both feet were. Not only are both his feet turned in, but his heels go up towards his calves too. All this will be corrected over time with this procedure.

So from here on out, Luke will get both legs casts every week until he is about four months old. When he turns six weeks old, they will do his first surgery which is clipping his Achilles tendon in both feet so they can manipulate the feet better. Here is them working on his legs.

As you can see the cast are from the top of his legs to the very end of his toes. Every week when they change the casts, they will turn his feet a little bit at a time to straighten them out. This process can take the whole four months, but thank God that this condition can even be corrected! So our little peanut now weighs over five pounds with these casts on. Together they weigh about a pound. But please continue to pray for his treatment and myself as I do this drive by myself and take both babies every week! We will continue to give updates here and always feel free to call us.
