Guest guest Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 My name is Kim, My daughter Saylah was born on March 5, 2005. She has bilateral clubfeet. At 9 days old she got her 1st cast and one new one a week for 6 weeks.She is now using the DBB. We are having some difficulty with this device. I think her left foot is not fully corrected and the shoe is slipping off. Our Dr. at columbus ohio Children's hospital is using the traditional method to treat her feet. After some research we are looking in to taking her to a Dr at Cincinnati children's hospital. Has any one had any experience with this hospital? The Dr we are seeing is Dr. Diane Vonstein. I wonder if we will have to start over with casting? Any info that anyone has about this doc would be helpful. Thanks, Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Kim, I know that there are a few parents here whose children are being treated by Dr. VonStein. Hang in there, I'm sure that they will post as soon as they see your message. In the meantime, there is a 'tips' sheet located in the files section here for using the FAB (DBB). You can find it by clicking on the files link at the left of this page and then scrolling down (near the bottom) to the file called " FAB.doc " . Hope this helps, Daiga and Owen, 02/04/03 Unilateral LCF, FAB 14/7 > My name is Kim, My daughter Saylah was born on March 5, 2005. She > has > bilateral clubfeet.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Kim, We live in Ohio but don't have any experience with Dr. VonStein. We took Rachael to Iowa to be treated. When we started her castings last March there were no doctors on Dr. Ponseti's list from Ohio. I think that there are two now - Dr. VonStein and Dr. Armstrong? in Cleveland. I know of at least one parent on this list that takes her daughter to Dr. VonStein. Hopefully she can help answer any of your questions and make you feel more comfortable. Where in Ohio are you? We are in Findlay. Best of Luck to you and your daughter. Bridget Rachael 2/20/04 blcf > > My name is Kim, My daughter Saylah was born on March 5, 2005. She > > has > > bilateral clubfeet.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 I just replied to your post on the clubfoot board but I think your daughter is in great hands with Dr. Von Stein. I went in to more detail in the other post but feel free to email me privately anytime. ALso, if you would like to talk about it in person to see Kelsey's foot or on the phone anytime, just email me and let me know. We are in Dayton so we are not very far away.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Welcome Kim! I've heard great things about Dr. Vonstein. I think you will be happy with her. Can I ask what you mean by traditional method? Do you mean Ponseti? If the foot isn't fully corrected, more than likely she will have to start over with casting. It is better to have discovered that early on, rather than later. Let us know how your appointment goes.
