ACADIAN-CAJUN] August a Cajuns' son
Augie has CMT CHARCOT MARIE TOOTH SYNDROME. It is Named for the 3 French
docs that found it.
it is caused from the mylar coating leaving the nerve endings. Augie has
CAVUS foot as a result of CMT. he had 1st surgery in early May.
the 2nd surgery on left foot near 1st of sept. Healing takes so long,
due to what all, the doc had to do. From his heel bone, the inner part,
they removed a bit of bone. then doc stretched the tendons and
re-aligned the bones in his feet.
the arch of his foot had been extremely high. this now, has given Augie
normal feet. that is if you don't count the screws and nuts & bolts &
washers in them. they sent us the Xrays:)
we were blessed to have found a doc to fix'im up, and God gave me the
strength those 6 months he was flat of his back, to take care of him:)!
all told healing takes a full yr. but right now he is walking tall and
straight. and has a job painting, which is his line of work:) btw the
doc soon as he looked at augies' feet, knew it was CMT., even before
he'd taken e-rays!! so that too, was a blessing huh i'd really
appreciate, you passing this on to others via our genealogy lists =A0
and please post it on your home page it may help them too.
at 1st, after finding he had CMT, he was tol to expect a wheelchair in
his near future.
Augie is 40 yars old...
he said, "ayieeeee God has given me another 40 years on these feet."
hugs,
alice
