I only had them on him about two hours total today, and there were only a

couple of red marks where they rubbed under his tube sock

We have found that thinner socks are more comfortable. Dress knee socks

are more comfortable for our DD.

Remember, though, that if a red mark does not go away within 20 minutes,

you should NOT put the braces back on. This is an ulcer and if the red mark

stays for 20 minutes there is tissue damage present.

Ok, thanks for the reminder. So far the red marks have gone away, but I just took them off of his from wearing them this morning for a couple of hours, and there are marks all over his foot. I'll just have to watch them closely. I wish we weren't in the middle of a snow storm right now or I'd get in to have them adjusted. I'll have to do that on Friday I guess.
