Poor baby ~E~ was born with really bad claw foot, and the only way to fix this was to have her feet set in casts for 4 weeks. She was a mad little girl when the doctor was putting them on, she screamed at him. The drive home wasnt too bad, she slept because she didnt take a nap before her appointment, and the evening went ok, but bedtime was a little rough. She wasnt used to having something on her feet, so she had a hard time getting comfortable.
The next day, she was courious as to what thoes things were, she spent quite a while looking them over, touching them, and drooling on them.
After a day or two she got comfortable with them, but the general public was not, I got asked every time we went out "How did she break her legs?" I didnt know if I should laugh or cry at this, but after a bit of explaining that she had claw foot, most people said they knew someone who was born with the same thing. She was a strong willed little girl, she wasnt going to let things like casts slow her down, she would try to get up on her knees to crawl. She was 6 months old, and getting courious about how to become mobile. She also learned how to sit up all by herself during this time.
She got her casts off after 4 weeks of being in them, and got new straight laced shoes she was supposed to wear 23 hours a day, but hated wearing them worse than the casts, and would scream, cry and kick them off after I put them on her. Like I said - strong willed!
