Sounds interesting doesn’t it?!? On Tuesday, Jake got his first round of casts on his legs. They go from his upper thighs to his ankles (just check out the photos). The ortho doc wants to work from the hips down, thus leaving his clubfoot surgery for later. He’ll get new casts each week with the purpose being to slowly stretch out his legs. At some point he’ll probably need surgery to get the legs as straight as they should be. Lemme tell ya, this little guy has abs & hip flexors of steel! The casts have to weigh a pound or two a piece and he lifts his legs up like nothing’s there.
Ok, this little guy is either going to have the patience of a saint and just sit there and smile and not have a care in the world or be one of those guys that says, "bring it on!!! What else have you got for me! I can handle anything!" You all are such troopers! This is such exciting stuff I can even explain how happy I am to see all the progress.
Lots of Hugs!

Ohmigod!, Jake has put me into cute overload!. I just love those expressive big eyes. I can see the difference in his legs from the picture with the dino to the one with the casts. What a sweetie to put up with all this so cheerfully. He's
making such wonderful progress, you must be thrilled. I am sure all the love and comfort he receives from both Mommies (not to mention family & friends) helps
him handle whatever comes his way. "Way to go, King Jake!"
Much love to all,
Judy

Hi Guys
Boy Jake as really grown since I saw him last. He is just a little trooper. He probably is saying enough is enough. But what ever you got bring it on. I am tough. Congradulations on the house....
Thanks for keeping us all up to date on Jake's progress. He is doing so great.
Love

OK he is toooo cute! I am lucky enough to see him often, so I forget to check out the blog. The pictures are great - what a cutie. It is hard to believe that he is even cuter in person where you can see his sweet little personality developing. What a wonderful additon to our family. We are truly blessed.
