And the verdict is...

...more casts! We knew at the last appointment that Dr. Stott's didn't get as good of a stretch he was hoping for, but today fully confirmed that. I guess girls with bilateral club feet tend to more difficult to treat, and Niole's feet are fairly stiff in the toe-down position. In addition, if you look at Nicole's right foot in the picture, it looks a little more squished than the left. Soon after her last casts were changed, she managed to pull her toes up, making the positioning less effective. We'll have to re-do the cast if she does it again before our appointment next Thursday.

The good news is, after the "torture" is done, Nicole is back to all coos and smiles!

She is so dang cute, and just when you think she couldn't get ANY cuter, there she goes again and does it! I love her little smile!
