Hey, all,

Sorry I missed Christmas!  Hope you all had a great holiday.  Been busy here with the Jake-aggeddon.  As you can see in this picture, Jake is going through treatment for bilateral clubfoot.  He has casts on both legs and they get changed weekly to turn the feet back into the normal shape.  I'm sure at least a couple of you have heard of it; it's a pretty common birth defect.  Otherwise, this kid is healthy and active!  Eats like a horse!  So we have a lot to be thankful for this holiday season.

On the health front, I'm doing well.  No pain or issues from either surgery.  I was extremely lucky to get good surgeons.  I am 100% back to life.  Scans are in March so I'm about to set all that up.  Until then, just focusing on Jacob and enjoying every minute of it!

- Jay

    Hi!

    Glad to hear from you and Jacob! He is so big already! As I've heard, all orthopedic issues are easily correctable in little kids, so he will be all right. 

    Happy NED year to you :-)

    Hey proud Pappa!! Thanks for

    Hey proud Pappa!! Thanks for sharing that little joy-boy with us too~

    My mom had club feet. Later affected her knees/back.

    So make sure he is followed by a good chiropractor when he's a bit older.

    My son reversed permanent damage to his spine by seeing a chiropractor

    and getting orthotics. He straightened out when no MD thought he could.

    EnJOY this precious times~
