just got fitted for shoes/bar

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

Today my son just got out of his last (3 week) cast. We went in for

the shoe/bar fitting and

the socks we brought just don't work. They are way to big and a

little too thick. We got the

Old Navy 0-6 months socks and the orthotist said he thinks they are a

little different than

they used to be. What does everyone else use. My son is currently 9

weeks old and he was

seven weeks early- his feet are kind of small.

Also, when we were fitted at the doc's office, the orthtist put on

the shoes, then my

husband, and then myself. The orthotist checked how we put them on

and they seemed

fine. He drew a line along the toes so we could tell if we were

getting the heel far enough

in. All seemed ok when we left the office. Not two hours later at

home I checked to see

that the toes were still in the right place and they had slipped back

a lot. I'm worried about

this. On our way out, the dr. said the shoes may be a little large,

and we will see. Could

this be the reason or might it be something else? I'm so worried

about Jack losing his

correction and getting sores.

Thank you.
