Just got the Ponseti/mitchell bar

[Guest guest]

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!
