Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 My daughter relapsed and was in casts (by Dr. P) from mid December through this Tuesday. Then it was back to her shoes. Before the casts she was out of the shoes 10 hours a day or so and she was doing all of the normal sitting type things and starting to pull up and such. With those wonderful, backward looking casts she still crawled like there was no tomorrow but of course she couldn't pull up (although she tried) and she couldn't sit so she did a lot of tummy things. Since the shoes are back she's very fussy (Yes we KNOW she's fully corrected) and I think it's because he's set them at an 80 degree angle to help fix the problem that caused the relapse. Dr. P wants her to learn to walk 'duck footed' or whatever you want to call it and thinks that we may need to wear the shoes more than normal until she's 20 - 24 months when her bones are set. Oh joy. Anyway, now she won't sit and she won't kneel. She won't sit up on her own either to reach for things, etc. I know it's only been a day or two but she adjusted more easily before. Any hints on what to do? At least she's crawling. I guess I should be happy with that but I hate to see her so fussy. Chris ---------- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 She may be frustrated with trying to move around right now, causing the fussiness?? I would think her last cast was at 80 degrees if that's what her shoes are at, so that should not be causing discomfort. Zoe recently had her bar length adjusted and had trouble going from crawling to sitting, etc. I helped her get the bar heaved over and she is doing OK now. Hopefully she is just getting adjusted.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 I'm so glad first that she's back in the shoes now. still won't put his feet flat or put pressure on them. He is just now starting to pull up and he's been out of the casts for almost 3 weeks now. the second time coming out of casts it's taking him a lot longer to get back to where he was before. I don't know if this helps any, but we are there with ya! Hang in there and congrats on having her feet fully corrected!! That's awesome. > My daughter relapsed and was in casts (by Dr. P) from mid December through this Tuesday. Then it was back to her shoes.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 , I'm sure you understand how nice it is to look at her feet and see them almost completely normal! LOL Of course they stick out at a 80 degree angle but I'll take it! It's good to know there is someone else who experienced this. My hubby thinks that she's just uncomfortable having her feet turned out that far but she didn't mind the casts at all and they were even further so I think we're dealing with something else. Ever onward! Chris Re: Uncomfortable I'm so glad first that she's back in the shoes now. still won't put his feet flat or put pressure on them. He is just now starting to pull up and he's been out of the casts for almost 3 weeks now. the second time coming out of casts it's taking him a lot longer to get back to where he was before.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Louisa, She waves that bar around like it's a ninja weapon! LOL After those casts this is a pip. But she seems to favor one foot. I'm worried about that... Chris Re: Uncomfortable She may be frustrated with trying to move around right now, causing the fussiness??

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I think I read yesterday or the day before about someone using water therapy for they baby. Found it # 30273. It sounds like that might be helpful. Also it could be that her fussiness comes from her feet being sensitive after being in casts. The boppy pillow (if you have one) would probalby help her learn to sit. I loved mine. > > > My daughter relapsed and was in casts (by Dr. P) from mid December > through this Tuesday.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Thanks . Today she's better - didn't fuss at all when I changed her but of course her shoes were on. What is it about those things that gives them comfort? LOL She's back to remembering how to sit up with them on so she's getting there again. However she won't reach beyond her immediate space so we'll have to work on that again. I'm glad she has straight feet again but I wish it could be done without casting!
