Yesterday Ming received her “Big Shoe” as we call it. It’s a brace that is worn while sleeping to maintain the clubfoot correction, and it is just like big brother Kai Dong’s! KaI was very excited to show Ming how he puts his on before bed, and now they are happy to do “teamwork Big Shoe” all night.
This brace was developed by Ignacio Ponseti, MD Department of Orthopaedic Surgery University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Kai Dong has been wearing his for about a year an a half now. He often tells people how his Big Shoe is helping his foot. We tried other bracing methods, but this was what he was ultimately comfortable with. Ming seems to like it too. this is her second night, and both times we got it out to put on she said “WOW, WOW!” with a big smile.
