Guest guest Posted June 28, 2003 Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 Thank you Michele. I took your advice and tried to call Sheila but I couldn't get her on the phone. I think it was too late in the day. I wanted to email Dr. Herzenberg tonight but I can't find his email address anywhere. I thought it was jherzenberg@... but it kept being returned to my mailbox undeliverable. I hope you and Colin are doing well. I am going to try and catch up on the posts and see what you wrote..I think you updated us recently right? Talk to you soon. Re: i am so upset , I would deffiantly call immediatly and talk to Shelia (don't go through the regular appointment desk). Tell her exactly how your feeling, and I'm sure they will see you right away, good luck! If you need someone to talk to feel free to e-mail me at chele323232@... or call me at home , I should be home all night after 6pm. I am sorry that you are feeling so bad.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 , I am going to take pics as soon as my DH gets home and shows me how to use the new camera. In the meantime, I have emailed Dr. H before I jump the gun and make an appointment I want to see what he thinks. Can you believe that a week ago my 6 year old said " mommy, Christian's foot looks crooked again " . I didn't even consider what he said. Then yesterday morning I was looking at it myself and said nothing to anyone. When I got home from work both of my parents told me that they believe his foot was curling inward again. This is why I am so freaked out. I am sure I will hear from Dr. H sometime today and I will get those pics on here tonight to get your opinion on them. Thank you. Re: i am so upset , I would definitely go to Dr. H right away! I would think they can get you in this Friday. Don't beat yourself up. You have been doing the right thing thus far, which is the absolute best you can do. It may also turn out not to be relapsing. Can you send pics of his foot to CFpics so we can see?

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 I don't recall having seen this post earlier, my response is below it...I am sorry.. Michele and my name is Tim and my wife is and we are expecting our baby on 9/16 and we have confirmed our child will be born with club foot. are you both speaking of Herzenberg from Sinai Hospital in Md? If so how do you know him and what can my wife and I expect? We are goin on 7/8 to meet and see the clinic? YES, We both go to Dr. Herzenberg in Baltimore. There are several others on here also that see Dr. H. I am expecting to either go there this Friday or next Friday. If I do end up going on the 8th I will probably be there the same time as you. He is a wonderful doctor and I trust him completely. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me. Re: i am so upset > Sorry ...

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 HI Corrina, If it were me I would adjust the angle myself to about 45 degrees. We have the red adjustable bar. You can undo the screw and do what you like with it. There are numbers on the bottom with the angles.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I agree. if it needs doing, and you know the right angle, you can do it yourself.. I have adjusted it several times.. it's not hard. If you can't figure out the numbers on the bottom (I never did), just hold the brace down on your table on paper, draw some lines.. even use your elementary school protractor if you have to! .. to figure out about the right angle, loosen the screw.. and move the shoe in, and tighten it up. very easy. So sorry you've had this frustration.. check out the following site, esp. the section on bracing (Foot Abduction Brace), for facts and figures on setup, other instructions, pictures, etc., from the orthotists shop in Iowa: http://pages.ivillage.com/ponseti_links/ best of luck > > HI Corrina, > > If it were me I would adjust the angle myself to about 45 degrees. > We have the red adjustable bar.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I'm glad you discovered the problem. Can you not turn the shoe out (in?) yourself to the right position? s. I am so upset Hello, I have to tell you all this to see what you all think. As some of you have read I had question about the good foot.Well now I am in a huge fight with the dr's today. They have had his good foot set at the same angle as his club foot for 6 weeks, the ortho doc is saying the shoe dr set it wrong and he is saying the dr wrote the wrong prescription, so I am now having to go to the dr and have the good foot shoe turned back to where it is supposed to be. The ortho dr just seen him 2 weeks ago for a check up and didn't even look at his good foot to see if it was set right. I have to thank you all so much if it was not for your responses this could have gone on for another 6 weeks, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart,. I am just so ticked off that they are so busy that no one noticed that they were turning out his good foot like a club foot., AHHHH Thanks corrina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 , I have his e-mail as jherzenberg@... I'm not sure if that is what you said you wrote or not it cut off on my computer screen at the l.. I haven't e-mailed him since like January though so it could have changed. Maybe if you call her tommorow you could get in for this friday if they are having clubfoot clinic, I have taken Collin on Thursdays before too even though that is not the typyical " clubfoot day " . I think you should trust your instincts like you are now, it is good your trying to do something about it right away, I pray you never get into Collin's position, maybe if Christian is having a small relapse and its caught early maybe Dr. H can correct it with a few casts. In Collin's case it has never worked like it does for others, he always gets temporarily corrected w/ the casts then a few months later its the same old thing over and over again.
