Carter's Feet

Carter was born with club feet meaning that his feet were turned in facing each other. He has been in casts since the 4th day of his life. Our doctor, Dr. Faux, uses the Ponseti Method to help child with club feet. Carter had his 8th set of casts taken off today and had a Tenotomy done which is the releasing of the Achilles tendon.
