Trevor, just three days old, was born with 'scrunched-up' toes, which made it difficult to walk.
The traditional method of dealing with a problem like this is to apply a small wooden splint to straighten the toes.
They tried that with Trevor, but it wasn't effective, so they had to come up with something else.
In the end, the solution turned out to be creating false webbed feet by using board and surgical tape.
