Not quite fixed yet.

After struggle with the shoes for a long time, we emailed Dr. Ponseti and sent him x rays and pictures of Ian's feet. He told us that Ian had an atypical foot (the left one) that would need a little bit of a different manipulation and perhaps another tenotomy. We made an appt to see him in February of 04.
We also chose to go there because we did not want Ian to have to go under general anesthesia again. The risk of complications is small, but we didn't see the purpose if it could be done with a local injection.
We were extremely impressed with his quick response, his caring attitude, and the approachability of his office.
Dr. Ponseti also mentioned there was a new kind of shoe available, called the Mitchell sandal that they were having a lot of success with.
Unfortunately, our insurance did not agree with our need to go to Iowa and they refused to pay the bills for it, despite a few appeals. Grr...
