“I want the best care for my son, and I know Tebow CURE is the answer to our prayers,” Judy Ann, Klyvan’s mother, expressed.
Klyvan, Judy Ann’s only child, was born with clubfoot. “It was a surprise for me. I didn’t expect that he would be born with a condition since my pregnancy seemed okay,” said Judy Ann, recalling the moment she saw her son for the first time. At the hospital where Klyvan was born, he was immediately referred to an orthopedic specialist. Since it was a public hospital, getting an appointment proved long and frustrating due to the overwhelming number of patients. A year later, the family had to move to the province. Sadly, Klyvan never got the chance to begin his treatment. As he grew, his untreated clubfoot brought challenges. Aside from struggling to balance, he couldn’t wear shoes due to the shape of his feet and had to walk barefoot most of the time. Judy Ann did her best to limit his walking to prevent painful calluses from forming.
Judy Ann met a neighbor who also had a child born with clubfoot. When Judy Ann saw the transformation in her neighbor’s child after completing treatment at Tebow CURE, she was filled with hope and finally decided to pursue the same path for Klyvan!
In June of 2025, Klyvan started his clubfoot casting journey. Before his corrective surgery, he was celebrated as the 10,000th patient at Tebow CURE since it opened its doors in 2014. Klyvan's surgery was successful. Dr.Micah performed a tenotomy procedure on both Klyvan's feet by cutting or releasing the tendons. The surgical team wrapped Klyvan's feet in a cast to complete the procedure. He was given a brace to keep his feet in a proper position while he was still healing. Klyvan happily showed his shoes to the OPD staff before they put them on him.
“After his clubfoot treatment, he can now walk and run. He could play outside the house and make friends. I don't have to carry him anymore. He would even go alone to buy the biscuits he likes at the store in front of our house. A lot has changed, and I am very grateful to the people who made healing possible for my son,” Judy Ann shared with happiness.
Klyvan’s journey is a beautiful reminder of how God works through the hands and hearts of people to bring healing. Today, he enjoys his childhood fully, free from the limitations that once held him back.
