After consulting with Emory - and them wanting to do a leg lengthening process - which basically is only 60% chance effective, and 5- major surgeries over the course of her life before she turns 15 - including breaking her femur bone in two places, inserting growth hormones, and putting her leg in a halo with a hospital stay of at least 2-3 weeks each time... and a cost of tens of thousands of dollars... uh, no! Second opinion from Children's Hospital - they say, let's do a prosthetic leg! When she was 1.5 years old, they made a plastic leg to slip over her short leg, at a cost of $13,000. Yes, $13K for a piece of injection molded plastic. She tried it for 2 months, and it was heavy, she lugged it as a toddler, and it hurt her foot which had to be pointed downward. I consulted my uncle who is a Chiropractor in Ohio, and he said he has seen lots of PFFD patients. He said the "normal" route is simply a custom shoe lift - and regular visits to the Chiropractor. DUH! So I called all over North GA, and was recommended this big hearted fellow named Jim Foley, whom many I called apprenticed under his guidance many years ago. He saw my daughter, and made her a first set of lift shoes when she was just shy of 2 years old. He was our angel in disguise! She just turned 6, and is on her 4th pair of shoes that Jim custom makes, at a cost of pennies compared to what Emory and Children's wanted to charge! Literally, she can run, jump, and be a normal kid. Praise be God, and thank you Jesus for Jim Foley! I cannot recommend him and his craft enough. His little quaint cottage up in the mountains says a lot about his personal care. If you want personal attention, let the master help you with any shoe problem you may have. 5 stars to my buddy Jim! God bless him! Todd
