We saw a new Dr. Today. His name is Dr. Michael James. He is in alternative medicine. He works a lot with herbs and healthily alternatives. He lives about 45 mins away and we will need to start seeing him once a week. He hopes to see improvement within about 4-5 months. Each visit is suppose to be about 1 1/2 hours. She will start in a hot tub kinda thing to loosen her muscles and then have massage manipulation to move and strengthen the inside of her arch and legs (and hips and back). He gave her some things to do at home to help.
He says all of the muscles Kellsie's needs to walk correctly are there. He needs her to build up the muscles she is not using and stop using the ones she is overly using (making sense? I think you would have to be there). He says he thinks that her feet might have been in the process of being club feet, but didn't get there. GREAT NEWS FOR US!
My hopes are up! I am excited for Kellsie to be able to walk without trouble or pain. I am grateful that we didn't do surgery like the other dr's wanted. I didn't feel right about that at all. We will keep working and praying. Kellsie deserves the best in this world!
