Baby Beckham Irwin Needs Your Help

Donation protected
"Hi, my name is Beckham Irwin, son of Chase Irwin and Amanda Cook and I am almost 6 months old. While I was in mommy's tummy, the doctor discovered that I was going to be born with bilateral clubfeet which means that my feet would be curved in a lot. The doctors reassured mommy and daddy that this is a common thing and that everything would be completely normal once corrected. As soon as I was born, my mommy and daddy wanted to get my feet fixed so that I would never remember. We started treatment just one week after I was born which consisted of both my feet being put in casts once a week until week 5, then they would cut my Achilles' tendon to lengthen them. Iwould then be placed in a cast for 3 weeks in a row. Once that was complete, I would be in a bar for 2 months 23 hours a day and then would just have to have it on at night. Unfortunately for me, my right foot had been slipping in the cast due to me being a wild kid like my daddy and kicking so much. This caused my foot to not get the correction it needed, forcing the doctor to do a second surgery. My left foot is completely fine but my right one is taking longer. Mommy and daddy felt they needed a second opinion because of the lack and concern the doctor was showing towards my foot. Turns out, they were right and the doctor had been putting the casts on wrong causing my right foot to take steps back. They immediately switched doctors to a good doctor. My new doctor is amazing but feels like my foot isn't correcting as quickly as she'd like it to. My parents and I are now having to go to St. Louis where I will be seeing a specialist to make sure my foot gets the right treatment so that I can play sports and run like every other kid. I am asking for any help that you all can give because my insurance "which is supposed to be the best" isn't covering this specialist. We are going to have to fly, get rental car, hotel and see doctor each week out of pocket which will be around $2,000 each week. We will have to go for several weeks until I am ok. Thank you all for any help. I will be ok, just gonna take a little time."

Love Beckham
