My name is MRS. DSOUZA,
mother of a 2 & ½ yr old girl . when I knew I was
expecting the second time I was really thrilled. On 16 th September
I gave birth to a boy, with this my family was complete, but
what followed after that has become a part of my life. Its very
easy to speak about it now, few months back all I could do was
cry my heart out.
My boy Jed was born with a small defect (scientific term CLUBFOOT,
ref: www.taralnagda.com). On the day my child was born I was
not informed by my doctor nor my family members because of my
painful labour . The next morning when I happened to see him,
I was shocked, cried and cried a lot, asked God several times
Why me ? all types of questions filled my mind, like what if
my son will never be able to walk at all or what if he would
be lame in one leg and lots more, any amount of explanation
from my family members was in vain but I knew there was one
person who would never lie to me and that was my gynaec ( MRS.
ROOPA UPADHAYA),she explained to me that this was nothing serious
and it could be corrected, but since I had not see anything
like this before it scared me at first.
On 17th September both my childs legs were put in a cast, it
hurt me to see him like that but if it was going to benefit
him then there was no complaining.
The first cast was removed after a week and I noticed a change
in my childs legs, this gave me some hope that after all this
is not so bad, as anything worse could have happened. Along
with the Doctors I had great faith in God and I knew that he
would never let me down.
On 18th September I got to meet Dr. Taral Nagda,who once again
explained that this was not a serious defect and it could be
corrected thru a technique known as the PONSETI TECHNIQUE.
I started visiting Dr. Nagda at his Ghatkopar clinic, once again
my childs legs were put into a cast, this was the second one
and exactly after 15 days a third one was put.
The change that I found after the third cast was removed was
really suprising, his legs were coming back to their normal
position , to my surprise Dr. Nagda did away with the cast and
gave him a pair of shoes to be worn daily, these shoes were
like any other normal shoes but it only had a aluminium rod
in the middle that was attached to both the shoes. This again
brought tears to my eyes cause my child was finding it very
difficult to bend his legs or even shake for the first few days,
after few days he got used to it, thank God. Removing and putting
those shoes was really a major task but does it matter when
its for ur boys benefit. This went on for 3 months, and now
he uses the shoes only at night.
I believe that this to will come to an end but in its own time.
So to those mothers who are going thru the same,have faith NOTHINGS
IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD.
Till then I have to have a lot of patience and faith in God
and Jeds doctor - Taral Nagda
