Re: Just got the Ponseti/mitchell bar

Wow a size 4 sounds huge! My son turns 2 yrs old next month and is just now

out growing his size 2. I " m not sure what to suggest.

s.

Just got the Ponseti/mitchell bar

I just recieved the Ponseti/ bar in the mail, my son still has

to have this cast on for another week and a half but I'm a little

concerned about the bar for when I have to put it on him. First of all

its so big. The shoes say size 4 on them, my son is 5 moths old and

barely in a 2. The note enclosed said that they made them longer for

him to have room to grow into them, but they look like they will fit

him for a year or more. And why did they take impressions of his feet

if they wer'nt going to send his size? And last any suggestions for me

for the first couple of days? I know my son is'nt going to like this

at all and I'm getting nervous. How long until he will be use to it?

Thanks for the advice. By the way our trip went great it only took Dr

Ponseti 14 days to fix Noah's feet without the tenotomy. I will post

pictures very soon his foot looks so great!

I can so relate. When we got our last pair that Dr. Ponseti had ordered to be

'one size bigger for growth' they were HUGE. I almost cried. Her feet were

barely out of 0's and these were big 2's. UGH! So what we did is this... she

has two different sized feet and yes, she's bilateral - anyway, we left one shoe

the 0 for her smaller foot and put the 2 on her larger foot. Then in order to

make it fit we had to use two pair of socks. We moved her other foot in to the

2 when it seemed it needed it and we use two socks in that foot now, too. I

have determined that not only did they increase the length but the width and I'm

going to have to be sure they don't do that next time. Anyway, we've also had

to poke extra holes in them, especially at the top ankle strap in order to make

them tight enough even with the two socks. But all in all it works well and I'd

much rather deal with this than the stress and pain of the markell's so it is

worth it to me. After all, she only wears them at night so the odd appearance

of two different colored socks doesn't matter! LOL

HTH,

Chris

I would call ASAP. Maybe he accidentally sent you the wrong size. 4

sounds way too big. My daughter is 18 months and wears a size 3

s. Her regular shoe size is approx 4-4 1/2 XW. may have

mixed Noah's shoes with someone elses, you never know.

HTH.

My daughter Connie is 1yr just. She got a size 3 which were huge,

our hospital ordered her another pair size 2 which seem ok but 4's

must be enormous!!! Cant you get some smaller ones and keep these

for later, they do get in the way when they are too big. Adele
