to the point where his big toes were effectively touching his shins. The paediatricians and physios at both Croydon University Hospital and St. George’s Hospital were amazing and very quick to get treatment up and running for him.”“First of all, casts were applied on a weekly basis after physio sessions to try and correct the position of his feet as much as possible. After nine weeks of this, corrective surgery was still required to effectively cut his Achilles tendon, correct his foot position and apply a new cast for three weeks to ensure that the tendon heals and forms the correct length & strength. After those three weeks, the casts were removed and Oscar was put into some ‘boots & bars’ which are set at specific angles & widths to ensure his feet stay in the correct position. For three months he had to wear these 23 hours a day, with only an hour off for bath time. When he finished the three months, he then had to wear them overnight (for 14 hours), this will continue up until he is four or five years old.”
