Emmy Summey's Story
i was born with a club foot(left foot) and i have went through at least 3 surgeries and many casts. i learned to walk in a cast. the doctors who did my surgery did an excellent job, i have almost complete full range of motion in my foot just cant bend it all over the place. i am flat footed on top of having a club foot so it has been a painful experiance pretty much all of my life. having a club foot has not stopped me or slowed me down one bit. my parents put me in dance class to help build the muscles up in my foot, and they treated it like it wasnt even an issue which is the best way to go. i played all types of sports when i was little, i kept up with the boys and i even marched in marching bands for four years. i have continued to push myself and not let my foot hold me back. i recently have been having some pain in my foot and i have a drs appt in october( which isnt getting here fast enough) but other than that i am great. dont let a club foot hold you back from doing anything! no matter what push yourself to do more than everyone expects because i know they dont expect much. ive been there. push your self and dont give up!
