Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 LOL! I think a lot of us do notice that. Everett's big toe nails are plumb funny looking they way they poke straight up on the ends. It's sort of the least of my worries though, kwim? s. Just wondering, besides the curly toes if any one has noticed anything else with the toes. My son's, Karter's, big toenail on both feet is pointing up and does not lay flat. We have talked to ped. about this and she thinks from wearing sock all the time and said it will go flat with time. Has anyone else notice this in their child?

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 My 's do this as well, and they are so hard to clip. I think this was discussed a few months ago, and several people responded with the same answer. I think the casting has a little to do with is also, but I don't think I will ever really know! toes Just wondering, besides the curly toes if any one has noticed anything else with the toes.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 I have noticed that has smaller toes nails. I tried to tell his developmental doctor that it was from casting and his feet are small anyway, plus I hardly have a little toe nail, but he said this was something else to add to his list, like a small mouth and asymmetric ears, both of which no one ever sees when we tell them this!

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Our daughters big toenails also point upwards (the rest of her toes look fine), they are like little daggers! When we lay down and cuddle together, I have to either have socks on her or pants on me, she loves to dig them in and thinks it is so funny when mommy says OUCH lol. Mind you she thinks it is just hilarious any time I hurt myself lol! The doctor we see for her cf said that this is common and that they would flatten out when her toes/feet get bigger. & Grace 14 mos right unilateral FAB 12-14 hrs > Just wondering, besides the curly toes if any one has noticed anything > else with the toes.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 My dd' big toes on both feet (only one was club foot) point straight up and look like little tiny slits. I have to keep them trimmed or they grow into the shoe and I'm afraid it would irritate her. I've never seen toenails point straight up like that, but hadn't thought to ask her dr. I hope your dr. is right and they do flatten out over time! But, you are not alone Marcia toes Just wondering, besides the curly toes if any one has noticed anything else with the toes.
