UPDATE

My poor little boy Sonny has got to go back through all the procedures for his foot again as it’s not fixed😢 operation 22nd may then 6-8 weeks in cast again, then another op to remove the pins from his foot, more casting then the splint. My brave little boy- you never fail to amaze me on everything you’ve been through💙

I haven’t updated on here for quite some time Sonny will be 3 in may and we are still on our journey with his foot. Sonny is still in a splint and our last appointment 6 months ago the consultant wasn’t as happy with his foot. His foot has slightly gone back again and it was spoken about that it seems he may need another operation☹️ so today hopefully we get some more answers on what the next step will be for my little warrior🤞🏻

I let sonny have a quick little walk outside for the first time ever in some shoes without his boot and he absolutely loved it💙 this is not something Sonny can do regularly due to needing to wear his boot 24 7 for the next 5 months but I just wanted to give him a bit of normality as a nearly 2 year old😊

We had our wound check and recast done this morning all looking good👍 now to wait for our 2nd operation in October to remove the wire in his ankle

27/08/2021

Pre op, & Sonny after his op💙 18th of October will be Sonnys second op but not such a major one just one to take the wire out that they have placed in his ankle to keep it all secure in place

This morning we had to have an early breakfast as Sonny is not allowed to eat after 7am due to his operation going under anaesthetic. Today’s the day little man🙏🏻🦶🏻

We have finally been given the date for Sonnys operation! 24th August😊 I feel for my little man what he’s going to have to go through especially now that’s he’s started walking it’s going to set him back and frustrate him but we need this operation to ensure he doesn’t experience pain or breakage when he’s older. Will keep you all updated on the day of his operation x

I’ve created this page for people who would like to follow our journey on Sonny’s treatment😊

So this is our story. Sonny was born with this deformity but wasn’t diagnosed until he was 11 and a half months old. We were always told it was position talipes (just his foot being squished in the womb) and it would be fixed with physio done at home.

At 3 and a half months old he began visiting Southampton hospital they tried casting his foot for around 6 weeks (going back every two weeks for new cast) at the end this worked picture number 3 showed that his foot looked virtually normal. However a few months went by and it started going back to how it was. The next check up at 8 months old they gave him little shoes with a metal bar in the middle to wear at bed time to try bring the foot down again.. that wasn’t working either so when we had follow up today they X-rayed his foot which showed his talus (ankle bone) was vertical and not flexible as it should be causing the position as his 1st and last photo.

He’s now got to have 2 weeks of casting before op, the op involves pulling everything down and temporary pins to secure the tendons ect in place. He will then stay overnight and be placed in a cast for 6 weeks after then possible a splint after that. Hopefully then our journey will end and he will be able to do all the normal things other toddlers can do.

This condition is rare! Normally 50% of those who have it have other muscular conditions and even conditions like spina bifida but as far as we know Sonny is a healthy boy with no other underlying problems. 1 in 10,000 babies are born with this condition but after surgery don’t experience other issue so fingers crossed this fixes his little foot🤞🏻

I will update you all when our Operation date is x
