Meet Will

"Will" (as we are calling him) was born in Haiti with club feet. He was born just 5 days before the earthquake. Because of his medical needs, we started to search for a doctor in the US who would be willing to donate their services to help fix Will's feet. We were blessed to be able to find a fantastic doctor who was more than happy to help in any way he could.
Since the earthquake destroyed so many of the buildings necessary to get the appropriate paperwork, many officials in the US were able to help secure the needed documents for Will to come to the US for his procedures.
He has now been in the states for nearly 5 weeks and had his first appointment yesterday. They have decided to start castings to see if that will help turn his feet into normal position. This is called the Ponseti Method. He will need to have weekly casting changes (2 hours away) for 4 weeks and then they will reassess to see if his feet are responding well or not. Here are a few photos of Will before his first castings.
