Re: going to dr to chew him out,,,,

[Guest guest]

Corrina,

Try not to get too upset, I think everything will work out fine. It

is not good for you or your baby to be so overwrought. From what

others have said they haven't seen long lasting problems when

the " good foot " was accidentally set wrong. Try to cheer up, you

only have 6 more weeks of 23/7. : )

Corrina, I think that his foot will be just fine. Our doc's office

originally set Owen's bar up incorrectly too. His bar was set with

both shoes out to about 60 degrees. I tried to say something when I

saw what they were doing but it didn't help - I was told that they

wanted them 'symmetrical'. Our doc had only just begun using the

method and there were a lot of 'kinks' to be ironed out. Luckily for

us, I found this group and was then able to monitor what was being

done and make the necessary changes if and when needed. I was able

to go through the files and photos section here and found a photo of

a bar that was set correctly for left clubfoot and just eyeballed the

angles from the photo. Everything worked out for us and I'm sure

that it will for you too!

Try not to be too upset.. it won't have caused lasting harm. any ill

effect will resolve quickly with time and growth I'm sure.

Corrina,

It couldn't hurt to email Dr. Ponseti to see if the good foot has been

affected in a negative way. He will respond to all emails whether you are

a patient of his or not.

His email address is ignacio-ponseti@...

Let us know how it all turns out.

Corrina - did you say your baby was going to night's only in a matter of weeks?

Just curious - I thought he'd only been in them a little while so far. How long

has he been in the DBB?

I'm betting his non cf is going to be just fine but let us know what you find

out, OK?

going to dr to chew him out,,,,

Hi everyone, well I get to go to the man who set my son's shoes

wrong today to have them corrected, I already turned his good foot

back in thanks to some of the people here. I don't know if it is set

right but it isn't turned out like it was. I didn't turn it

completely straight left it out a little does that sound right? I

just cannot say how upset I am about all this, he was just at his

ortho Dr. 2 weeks ago, you would think he would have seen it and said

somethen. I know he is so busy him and his partner are the only peds

ortho Dr. in Toledo, but my son has been treated wrong because of

either his or the other guys mistake, I an getting the original

presciption today when I go there so I can see for myself who was in

the wrong. Basically what they did was treat him like he had

bilateral club feet instead of one. I am now so worried that his good

foot is going to be a problem, will it go back to normal? He was like

that for 6 weeks and he is supposed to be going to nights only in

another 6 so will he be able to do that or will he have to wear them

longer? Could this damage the foot to where it may need more than

just turning the foot back to normal? I know you all are not dr.s but

maybe someone out there can tell me if somethen like this has

happened to them or somethen similar. I would sue the crap out of

whoever made this mistake if I could, putting my little baby through

all this and me as well, I am such a wreak because of all this. If I

knew for sure that yes it will be fine then I would not worry so

much, I thought of writting Dr. Ponseti to ask his opininon, does he

do that or do you have to be a patient of his?Well anyways just had

to vent a little and I thank you all again for the help you saved my

son of another 6 weeks of miscorrection....
