Hi everyone

My daughter is now 9 1/2 months old with cf left. She had 11 casts

altogether, a tenotomy and is now in dbb about 13/14 hours. She

crawls really well and has been doing for a few months and really gets

about in the bar but now she has started to stand and support

herself. She will not put pressure on her leg/foot and only uses her

toes and ball of foot to stand on. Her big toe sticks up a bit. She

has a high heel anyway but consultant says she should 'walk it out' or

possibly need another tenotomy. (does this procedure bring down the

heel)?

Anyway my question really is do any of you guys have tots that have

had problems when starting to walk? I expected her to just get up and

walk normally - am I asking too much here?

Please advise - I don't go back to hospital until July and was

thinking of bringing appt forward or maybe I just sit and wait.

Thanks

Regards
