Anna Catherine, born September 9th, 2000

Five months into our pregnancy a routine Ultra-sound showed some abnormalities in our infants feet. A quick diagnosis from our OB/GYN told us it was a condition known as bilateral club foot. At the time the news was quite upsetting and it wasn't until we did some research that we discovered the ailment was not permanent and could be corrected with relative ease.
