Thank you very much for sharing six, I had not previously heard of this story. It means a lot to me to see this as my 4 yr old little girl was born with bilateral club feet. She has had 6 surgeries in the last 4 years, been in and out of casts and braces, she's a very brave little girl. She has had to struggle learning to crawl/walk and has persevered through each and every setback along the way. We are hoping and praying that the surgery she had last December will be the last. Thanks again for sharing buddy.

WOW! I have brought up a bunch of kids and watched their kids and their grand kids and have never faced such circumstances.

I would guess the better mom and dad handle the challenge the better the kid will deal with the challenge.

No doubt in my mind your little darling will make it. My thoughts will be with her.

Great story thanks for sharing. DRANGED, she's lucky to have a supportive dad like you, and as a result I'm sure your little girl will do just fine.

Six - Thanks for posting this. It really is inspiring. Makes me a bit ashamed for some of the things I complain about.

John - You're a class act, and I'm sure your little girl is too.
