Welcome to Our Story

Hello, and welcome! Whether you've found my blog because you personally know our family, or perhaps you've stumbled across it while looking for information on the internet about clubfoot, I'm glad you are here.  I look forward to sharing our story with you.

My name is Lyndsey and I am a wife and mother to two (soon to be three) children.  Oliver was born in August 2008 with bilateral clubfoot.  Our daughter Lucy was born in October 2011 and had perfectly straight feet.  We found out May 31, 2013 that in September 2013 we would be welcoming another precious baby boy to our family, and he is expected to have a right clubfoot.

While it may seem to most that since we have been through this once that we know what to expect, it feels differently to us.  We had an amazing orthopedic doctor treat Oliver's feet, and Oliver responded very, very well to treatment.  He is truly our walking miracle.  I had always thought that if we ever had to go through this again that it would be easier since we knew his doctor.  However, along with the news of our second boy having clubfoot, we also found out that our orthopedic doctor recently had to stop practicing due to cancer.  It was all so heartbreaking and so much to process all at once.

Through it all, we know that God remains faithful.  He is the Great Physician and as He heals our baby's foot, He will heal my heart.

I look forward to sharing more of Oliver's story and healing as well as our journey in finding a different doctor and how things go for our baby boy once he is born this fall.
