Baby Jeremy's Story (Part 3)
Cute little Jeremy has captured the hearts of all CAMTA volunteers. To review previous posts on Jeremy, click here for Part 1, and here for Part 2. This is the third installment of Baby Jeremy who has bilateral clubfeet.
Jeremy and mom return to CAMTA to recast both of his legs. Administrator Barb Moreau keeps Jeremy entertained while his legs soak in a bucket of warm water to soften the cast.
Jeremy is not a happy camper as he is held down while CAMTA volunteers cut his cast open.
Almost there! The cast on Jeremy's left leg is nearly off and he's hanging in there, like a little trooper.
The left cast is finally off – we're halfway there!
Here is a closer look on Jeremy's clubfoot after the removal of his fourth cast.
Free at last! Both casts are off and Jeremy is happily resting in mom's arms before health care professionals continue with the process of recasting his legs.
Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Megan Cashin uses this opportunity to ask mom if she noticed any improvement, and she responded in the affirmative. Excellent news!
Administrator Barb Moreau firmly re-applies web roll on Jeremy's right leg, which is followed by plaster, to set the new cast.
Stay tuned as Jeremy will return to the hospital for his tenotomy procedure on Friday.
