Back in October 2024, Damian had his 3rd surgery ever - this time on his feet.
Here are all the procedures he had done while he was under (in the official medical lingo):
tendon achilles lengthening bilateral
tendon lengthening posterior tibial bilateral
tendon lengthening toe flexor bilateral
tendon transfer anterior tibial split bilateral

In layman's terms, Damian had 4 tendons in each foot adjusted in some way to pull or relax his foot into a neutral position. The main part of recovery was pretty quick, actually, but we ran into some hiccups with the new AFO braces we got.

Through the surgery and recovery we worked on multiple fundraisers that all went so well!! Thank you to everyone who helps us and encourages us to keep pushing forward! I am so grateful for you!!! We are doing this!!
