Alastair wears casts and he might not remember how he used to wear casts. I wrote a story about it. Read my story.
[Editor's note: Alastair wore casts or a brace until he was about 15 months old, in April of 2010. Frederick wrote this story as Alastair was in his last set of casts.]
I made this story because my brother was very sad when he had to wear casts and braces on his feet. Alastair stopped crying when he listened to my story. It took a long time to make the whole story up. My mom and dad helped me with some of the words to put in.
Listen to the story called "Straight and strong legs in the mountains":
Editor's note: Alastair was born with club feet and was cast at one week old. He has worn casts or braces nearly every week since birth. In the old days, a child with club feet would have grown up crippled. The condition is now fully treatable. Fortunately, Alastair's case is associated with no other disorders.
