Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Gabe has these nasty things once again. This time I caught them before the skin split, but it's been two weeks of pure hell trying to get the boy to sleep. He falls asleep, then 20 minute later he's pulling at his shoes and whining. The excess connective tissue seems to have thinned out quite a bit these past few weeks. I'm guessing that's what triggered the pressure sores.... My question is: Is there any way to prevent them from occuring in the first place? I've been padding the sores with lambs wool, but that doesn't do much for the pain. I think they must thob or something when he's not moving around. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Faith, I just posted something similar earlier today. I am not sure what to do either. This is Zoe's 3rd pair of shoes and never a problem before. I called the orthotist and left a message today. I will let you know what he says.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Hello, PLease let me know what he says as well. My son also has some pressure sores. I thought that I had them tight enough but I am worried. I hope and pray that they will not turn into blisters or open sores. This is such a nightmare for me, I can only imagine what he feels!! I hope and pray that his feet will correct soon! Kindly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
