I never realized she had been through this. I actually know all you are talking about with surgery and castings. So happy to know she's now got two cute, wonderful little feet and no longer needs the shoes or brace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375540653137192477.post-10093382077135899992007-04-21T00:20:00.000-04:002007-04-21T00:20:00.000-04:00The amazing thing about all the casting was that M...The amazing thing about all the casting was that M never cried when they sawed the cast off or put a new one on (except the one time that H had to take her...that was a nightmare for everyone involved!). When the dr. was doing his dictation he would call her "Sweet M(name) Benson..." When he moved, he said he'd loved to continue her treatment, but we couldn't afford to travel that far each month to see him. If I ever have a chance, I'll tell him how much we miss him and what a blessing he was to our family. He held my precious baby while they put her to sleep and was holding her when they called me to her after her surgery. He's one of our angels...nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758393907259378213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375540653137192477.post-74262609749274302992007-04-20T13:35:00.000-04:002007-04-20T13:35:00.000-04:00Poor baby and poor Mommy to go through all that!

But I'm glad she's doing so well now and that's what matters!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00604713846429464708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375540653137192477.post-73105944185541960642007-04-20T13:24:00.000-04:002007-04-20T13:24:00.000-04:00Thanks for sharing your story and the pictures, Na...Thanks for sharing your story and the pictures, Natalie. The poor girl sure had a tough first year, huh? Glad to hear that she is much better now, but I can't believe the things that insurance doesn't cover. It's not like it was something that was optional!Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464318343985100834noreply@blogger.com
