Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I am so happy she is doing well. Getting those casts to stay on is tricky. But when you realize they are atypical and Dr. ponseti steps in...he's got a way with those casts and knows exactly how they need to be applied. Amazing that he can translate that feeling into words for other doctors to be able to apply them effectively! I am so happy for you! Lord bless you and your family. Hang in there. Though it sounds like an easier case, it's still quite something to go through.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 That's great! Very good news. So, have you ordered your brace yet? If not, I suggest you contact him right away because it is pretty well known that the Markell's don't work so well for atypical feet and they will slip off her feet just like the casts. If you go into this brace first you will probably ward off lots of problems you could have with the Markell's. If you need the information I'm sure someone has 's website at their fingertips, sorry... I don't have it right here.
