Kai is in another cast :( Oh, well, better that than the alternative!

[Guest guest]

Dr Mosca scared me a bit today when he suggested leaving Kai's foot

uncorrected/uncasted (therefore unbraced) for a few months to see how stable the

midfoot was! I understand what his intention was - it would be more likely to

*stay* fixed if it has stabilized - but his foot is actively relapsing! So we

explained that if he fixed it now then Kai would be able to go back into the

brace and have a better chance all-together.

He agreed on this point and now we have a cute little red knee cast on one very

pissed 2 year old! This time they used hard fiberglas, which I think will be

better because - like plaster - it has no give, so his foot cant flex inside the

cast like last year.

The plan it to do 2 casts and to try to literally give him a flat foot so that

any regression in the midfoot will just bring it back up to a normal arch

height.

I will try to take pics tomorrow and post them on CFPics tomorrow when Kai is a

bit more agreeable :-)
