Will's second casting appointment

On Thursday, March 4, Will had his first casts removed and the 2nd casting done. The doctors are pleased with how it is going. He does have congenital club feet and not positional club feet. They will change his casts every week and probably do a minor surgical procedure after the 4th casting. This involves clipping the Achilles tendon in both feet, in children this will grow back to the right length. They will do it under anesthesia, so it won't be uncomfortable for him.

I believe that Will is having infantile spasms, a type of seizure, about once a day. We have an appointment for him to have an EEG (Electroencephalogram) early Monday morning. Those results will be sent to the Minnesota Epilepsy Group in St. Paul and we will then discuss what would be the best treatment for this. He will be getting some of the best care both for his feet and his neurological issues.

He continues to grow like a weed and is doing very well with taking his bottle. Everywhere we go, he tends to be the center of attention.
