Clubfoot Clinic

Today was my first clubfoot clinic! We literally saw about 25 kids in a few hours. Most of their current caseload have finished with the casting portion and are now on the maintenance part in which they wear special shoes to maintain the correct foot position. At first its all the time, then its only at night as to not limit motor development. I also was able to watch a few tendon release procedures which was hard because the babies were screaming and in some cases the parents were crying too.

One of the coolest parts of today was that we had a few babies come in who are at part of the Masai tribe. It was like I had stepped into National Geographic. I wish I could take pictures, but we are not allowed and it would be quite unprofessional. It took everything I had not to stare the whole time! Its amazing what they can make their ears do. I really didn't know it was possible.

Tomorrow I am headed to Lake Nakuru National Park in hopes of spotting some rhinos! (and other animals of course)!
