Luca's surgery




So on June 4 Luca had to have surgery on his feet. He just grew to fast and his little feet just could not keep up with the correction that his feet were trying to do. (for those of you that don't know Luca was born with club feet) so Dr. Hurdle decided it was best to lengthen his achilles tendon he had 3 cuts to it on each leg, and then he was double casted. He was so brave, he wasn't scared at all. It helped that my brother Jim works in the O.R. , and he was there the whole time. He was a big comfort to me and Luca, and he was the first one to sign his new casts.
It has been a long road , full of no sleep, and a very frustrated child, but today Thursday June 18 he gets them off !! yeah!!
