On Monday we go for Aubrey's tenotomy procedure at Texas Children's. So, please keep him in your thoughts. He will have the procedure and be in a cast for three weeks while the tendon heels and to place his feet in a completely corrected position. He will probably be fussy for a few days afterwards....hopefully he'll feel better for Christmas. But his daddy has reminded me that luckily he's not weightbearing on those feet, so there won't be any added pressure as the tendon heels. Thank goodness Jody is good at calming me down about things. :-) We are excited that this will be his final set of casts. On January 13th he'll be fitted for a brace and wear that until he starts to scoot. After that, we only wear the brace at night till age three. Here is a website that describes more about clubfeet and the method of correction we are using.
I will update on Monday after he's home from TCH and hopefully sleeping soundly!

Oh, I just want to squeeze those precious cheeks! Wow, I can't believe that he is already having the procedure done and will soon have his last sets of casts! Way to go Aubrey! That's great news that y'all are almost done with the most difficult part of everything. And, thank goodness for husbands that are so good about calming down us worried moms! I'll be thinking and praying for all of you on Monday. Have a very Merry Christmas....it will be so fun and memorable this year (and every year!) with Aubrey!
