RE: Great news from Dr. Carey

[Guest guest]

Wow that's exciting news! You must be very happy that you've proved the

previous doctor wrong, I know we were. I have a Practical tips page on

my website, http://www.clubfoot.co.za/practical_tips.htm

But it's more for the younger child, as I don't have experience in

getting an older child used to FAB. was 3 months when we started

full time wear.

Clothing is important for convenience of diaper changes. We found loose

dungarees and pants with snaps all the way around that we used all the

time, with sweaters, T-shirts or vests depending on the weather. PJ's

were all-in one-suits also with snaps. Had five of those and they got a

lot of wear!

Also, I'd say show how they work (he's a boy, they're fascinated by

things like that!) and I think you'll find that he adjusts very quickly,

these kids are amazing.

I'm sure you'll get a lot of useful advice from other people on the

list. Once again, congrats!

Great news from Dr. Carey

We saw Dr. Carey today and he says JOhns little

feet are ready to go into the boots and bar. we are going tomorrow

to get him everything he needs. We are just thrilled, especially

since our previous Dr. said he would definetly need surgery on both

feet. Dr. Carey did advise us that it will be a difficult time with

the boots and bar because he is older (15 months) but we will

persevere.

Does anyone have any tips for the boots and bars? What should I

expect? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
