4 years ago today, my life was changed forever. My beautiful baby boy was born. Almost 12 hours of induced labor and I ended up with a c-section. I cried happy tears as soon as I heard his first cry. Unfortunatly my husband saw alittle too much of the surgery and knew something I didn’t yet and had to leave the room. As soon as I was wheeled back to my room, they told me something was wrong with his feet. They unwrapped him and showed me his little crooked feet and told me he had clubfeet. We didn’t know anything about it until that moment. We tried not to let it overshadow his birth, and even thought about not having more kids for fear they would have it too. But once we got started with his treatment and noticed he didn’t mind the casts, brace and was still a very happy baby. We decided we would eventually try for one more. And if he did have clubfeet, we would know how to treat it and it wouldnt be a big deal. Luckily Brax’s feet are fine. Ian hit every milestone mostly on time, the brace wasn’t slowing him down. He did walk alittle late, but honestly I’m not sure if his clubfeet had anything to do with it. He was released from his brace alittle early a few months ago. I think we will always worry about his feet. Even though for awhile now no one would ever even know anything was wrong with his feet. He’s very smart, loving and a great kid all around. I can’t imagine my life without him and love him so very much.
