Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Just letting everyone know we had our first appt. with Dr. P on Friday. He agreed with us that Karter's (13 months) right foot was not right. He recasted rt. foot and he will have a tenotomy Friday the 23rd. He will then be in cast on both legs for around 2 weeks. Dr. P. was wonderful. And we will be bringing his other sets of casts, since they had always been cut off before this. His feet were never casted out so far, only casted to what a normal foot looks like. We think this is the cause on all the relapses. Just wanted to let everyone know that we are happy we found this group which led us to seeing Dr. P. It has been a very long 13 hours with the casts. He doesn't seem to sleep longer that 45 min. and has only done that 4 times in 30 hours, so hopefully he will get use to them soon, for next week he will have 2. I was very happy to see many Dr.'s in with Dr. P studying. I just wonder why it is that our other Dr. was 40 min. from Dr. P and did not know what he was doing. I hope everyone will learn from Dr. P so when he no longer works someone will be able to carry all his secrets to parents. We had lunch with Michele and Collin on Friday. Since we are close to Iowa City we are going to try to pick them up and maybe have a day outing, so they have some company. It was great to meet someone that knows what I am talking about. Hoping to check in with her after Wen. and we will be there again Friday, so we can maybe go for lunch again. Anyone else to be in Iowa City in the next couple of weeks? You are more than welcome to join us for lunch. Tabitha Karter (7/30/04 bl cf) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
