Hello,
I announced the arrival of Benjamin Daniel Luke recently. We took him to Des Moines this morning to have his feet looked at. The diagnosis was club feet and he was immediately wrapped in plaster casts to begin the straightening process. The doctor said he will be changing the casts every week for 7 weeks, then Ben will require braces for a year all the time and braces at night until kindergarten.
The doctor expects a full recovery, but Ben does not understand why his feet are being squeezed and pulled by the casts. This usually happy little boy has been crying most of the time that he's been awake (unless distracted by a bottle). Please pray for our son's comfort.
