and baby makes 6!

Again, someone has come to my site searching “terminating a pregnancy due to clubfoot”.
This beautiful child has clubfoot:

He is 5, and perfectly normal. His clubfoot was corrected with the Dimeglio French Physiotherapy method. There are links in my sidebar under “Clubfoot” that will direct you to various support groups [...]

After Quinn had his cast removed, I was apprehensive about posting a “gush” post about how wonderful his foot looked. Truth be told, it was a mess. A straight mess, but still a mess. It was stiff, peeling, stinky and he walked really funny. We spent about 2 weeks looking at [...]

So, we made it through the surgery and Quinn did so great. Thursday night at the hotel, he spiked a low grade fever of 101.2 and, well, you can just imagine how bad I was flipping out. His urticaria had returned a bit on his trunk, and FEVER dammit. His fever lasted [...]

The Benadryl worked. It has faded to almost nothing. We are off.
If you would, send up some prayers for Quinn tomorrow morning!

I’ll check back in as soon as I can.
C’ya.

It is almost 1pm. Quinn’s surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. He was on the list for somewhere between 11-11:30, but one of the kids ahead of him got cancelled, so now we are scheduled for 9-9:30. Quinn is a cranky boy in the morning until he gets some food in his [...]

Well, the fever is gone. No more headache, crying or aching legs and stomach ache. Quinn woke up this morning, his usual self, and went to school. We are beyond baffled. He had fever anywhere between 101-103 yesterday afternoon, I gave him some Motrin, called the surgeon, he cancelled the [...]

The school called right before pick up time to tell me Quinn had a fever of 101. I picked him up, and he is sick, probably the flu. Poor little guy is miserable. He was fine when he left this morning for school. Ugh.
I talked with the surgeon and he cancelled [...]

Time to head out. My MIL will be holding down the fort here with the 2 big boys.
If you would, please send up some prayers for Quinn. They would be much appreciated. His surgery is scheduled for 7:30 am tomorrow. It should take about 2 hours. [...]

In reviewing my stats today, I found that someone came to my site while searching "termination due to clubfoot". 
Please, please, oh God, please come to my site again and see this post.  PLEASE e-mail me and I will show you my beautiful son who has clubfoot. He is gorgeous, funny, smart, adorable, and the [...]

Have had a long day. 
Quinn had an appointment with his orthopedic doc, and the news was not the best.  I was expecting it, but it is still hurts my mind.   His foot was doing so great, then he had a HUGE growth spurt and all the stretching in the world was not going to [...]

First, if you are coming to this site in search of clubfoot information, please feel free to e-mail me and I can tell you about my son, Quinn, who has left clubfoot.  I would love to help out in any way that I can.
When we first found out that Quinn had severe clubfoot and [...]

There is a flurry of talk in the blog world about choosing a healthy child via adoption….one with little or no deformities. It’s another variation of the old infertile -vs- fertile war that I see raging daily.
Let’s go there. So, if I were to have done PGD with my 3rd pregnancy, and I ended [...]

This morning, as I was making coffee for DH and I, I heard my kids in the bathroom teasing each other. They were imitating voices, but I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard my oldest son, Cory (9), making fun of how another child in his class talked.
I stopped what I was doing [...]
