Jesse David (Updated with praises for God’s Work)

11/26/2015

 
PLEASE NOTE: THIS POST HAS BEEN UPDATED YET LEFT ON HERE SINCE GOD HAS DONE SOME INCREDIBLE THINGS IN JESSE’S LIFE. READ ALL THE WAY TO THE END TO SEE WHAT GOD HAS DONE!………Jesse came to us the 6th of May, 2015 at one month of age. He was given up by his parents as they were cousins and thus the conception and birth of Jesse was very taboo. The family and community tried to kill the baby so thankfully the parents made the right decision and offered him up for adoption.
​At 13 lbs Jesse appeared to be a healthy infant other than having severely clubbed feet. In early September we began the long process of trying to correct his club feet.

The doctor who is working with Jesse called his clubbing extreme and acute. Without correction Jesse would never walk and would spend his life as a cripple. We believed it was worth whatever it took to help him avoid this condition. 

​While we will not know for sure until we are finished, it is projected that it will take 15 – 20 separate castings to slowly force Jesse’s feet back where they belong. We have currently completed 12 progressive castings and are seeing significant improvement. Here is Jesse enjoying a moment of “freedom” after having the 11th cast removed and awaiting the new one.
