Cody's Casts

Since Cody was born with a clubfoot, we have had to make the 5 hour drive to Portland weekly. We are happy to announce that we won't have to make the weekly trips much longer. He has done so well with the first phase of the Ponseti Method that on July 15th, Cody will go into surgery to clip his heel cord. After that he will be in a cast for three weeks--phase 2.

 Cast #1 Cody got his first cast on June 5, 2014. He wasn't a happy baby for that entire week after.

Cast #2 placed on June 12, 2014. He did much better.

Cast #3 placed on June 20, 2014

Cast #4 placed on June 26, 2014 The kids saw me writing the number on the cast and wanted to color on it too. (On the foot of the cast, Jennie made a sun)

Cody having cast #4 removed. He was placed in a plaster cast up to mid-calf and then a fiberglass cast all over up to his upper-thigh.

Cody getting his bubble bath after removing his cast. He was a very smelly baby each time since I could only sponge bath him---a good soak did him good and he loved the water.

Cast #5 placed on July 3, 2014---the final cast
