How long between last cast and DBB?

[Guest guest]

Hi all:

I have a quick question (quick because I have a 2 yr. old and a 12

wk. old).

Our son was born (12/27/04)w/unilateral club foot and had his last

cast (9th) removed this past Friday (Ponseti method). The dr. gave

me the scrip for the DBB and I have contacted the place we are to go

get the bar, but they have not called me back yet to set up an

appt. I had to first fax the scrip and my insurance info. (they

need to contact my ins. co. for a certification). Anyway, I've

contacted them over the last two days, and my concern is that we are

waiting too long to get the shoes on him. I'm worried his foot will

revert back.

Any comments/experiences.

Thank you.

You need to go back to the Dr. and have him re-cast. How long did he wear

the last cast? What, if you know, was the reason for so many casts? Was

he considered severe? If so, it's imperative that he not wait less than a

few hours at best to start wearing the FAB after the last cast is

removed. Even if not, same. FAB goes on immediately after the cast or he

stays in casts. They should have ordered the shoes for you weeks ago.

Just have him casted tomorrow, before the weekend comes and he should be

able to wear that cast till the shoes and bar come in. Don't leave their

office unless he's in a cast, but I'm sure if you tell the doc about this

they will be happy to re-cast him.

Good luck and great job there mama! Tell them you don't have time to mess

around risking relapse, you got babies to take care of and that's more than

enough lol.

And welcome :~} I don't remember seeing you here yet but my mind is a blurr

anyway.
