Cunningham Braces for Logan
This is our baby, Logan ❤ He was born with bilateral clubbed feet and we are trying to get him 3D printed cunningham braces. He has already been through 4 sets of casts, a tendon release surgery and placed in ponseti boots. Unfortunately he is not tolerating the ponseti boots which are the traditional method for correcting clubbed feet. In fact, the ponseti boots were a complete nightmare. After two weeks he developed cuts on the tops of his feet and pressure ulcers on his heels that were very deep and became infected. He was obviously in a lot of pain and had to stop wearing the boots until they healed. This caused his feet to relapse and begin to curve inward on their sides again. He is now back in casts . If we can get the 3D brace he will not be at risk for pressure ulcers again which would be amazing. The new brace also has been proven to cut treatment time down by 1/3 the time and he has very little chance of relapsing again if worn properly.
I would appreciate any support given for our baby, I want to give him the best treatment possible with the least amount of pain. We are trying to get insurance to cover the new braces but so far have not had the best of luck. He needs the braces in the next 2-3 weeks so I can't wait for insurance to make up their minds. Every little bit helps! And if you can not donate, prayers would also be greatly appreciated. This would be life changing for Logan and make his treatment way easier to tolerate. Thanks again! And let's rally for Logan!
