Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Hey , I hope you got the tips files I sent you but if not, please let me know and I'll re-send them. (sent earlier today after seeing your post) I wanted to say however, that now that he's got blisters they won't heal overnight. When you put the shoes back on they very likely will only get worse. Even if you start to get them tight enough so there's no friction to make any more blisters, the pressure of the boot on top of the blister won't let it heal very well. It's sad but, once there's a sore you are in dire straits getting them healed. Some parents have been able to do it, so it's not impossible but not too probable. Plus it's a holiday weekend and getting him in to see a doc isn't going to happen till Tuesday next week at the earliest. I would suggest to you that you not keep him out of the shoes tonight. A whole night without them could cause some relapse. Could I say... not will of course. However it is a very real possibility so look upon nights without shoes as suspect. If I were you, I'd go ahead and cut out the heel where that sore is. Do it tonight and then when you put his shoes on you will be able to see if his heels are down, know if they're tight enough (pull to see if the heel moves at all), and you'll remove the part of the boot that will rub on those sores and it'll allow them to heal. Sores take about 2w to heal so he'll need that long without pressure on that area to get back to normal. Seriously, just go get a sharp knife and cut out that hole. There are pictures in the files I sent you that can help. I gotta run, but let me know if you have any questions. I'll check back later. I really recommend cutting the hole. It can't hurt and it always helps. Kori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
