Garret flew into Washington yesterday. It is so good to have him home! Before heading to Seattle, we were able to take Icem's casts off and give him a bath.
The difference in his feet was cool to see.
Last week:
After one cast:
We drove down to Seattle Children's together today, Garret wearing his Coug gear into "enemy territory" as he calls it. Once again, surrounded by sick kiddos checking in, we felt so blessed that this was the only thing our little guy was dealing with.
Before his doctor came in we were able to get his weight. 8 lbs, 11 oz. This little guy is gaining each week which is so great to see. Dr. Mosca came in and looked at his feet, testing their flexibility. He told us he was very happy with how they had responded. He thought that instead of the 8-10 casts he quoted us last time, that Icem may only need 5 before his tenotomy. This could change, but for now it was great news!
Once again we fed him while the casts were applied and he was a trooper. He even fell asleep at the end.
2nd Casts:
After getting his casts we were able to catch up with Garret's friend Eliza from Darrington who is completing a residency at UW Medicine, and her son Cohen. It was so nice to see a friendly face. They even brought Icem a book.
Thank you to everyone following our family's journey through this clubfoot treatment process. We appreciate your love and support!
