hmm...this worries me! my son is 1 and had been diagnosed with severe right clubfoot at birth, he has already had 1 surgery,numerous casts, has to wear the brace shoes at night,however he doesn't like them being on, I do my best to also try and keep up on his therapy, it gets hard w/so much to do, I want to cry for this happening in the first place,as it makes me feel like some how it's my fault. My son isn't even walking yet,he holds onto stuff to walk, i don't know what to do! any advice?

Now is the time for him to attend a college or school to learn a profession that he can use sitting down. This is just an opinion, the one thing one does not want to be in life is poor. Life is miserable being poor. It is much better in life to give than have to receive. One college course at a time is better than nothing. Go for it. I took two courses in college a semester for eight years, but I have had a job off my club foot for years.
