has graduated to the DBB bar;0)

[Guest guest]

HI Everyone-

Sounds like I have missed some intereting posts. I wanted to share

some exciting news with all of you. My daughter had her casts taken

off last Wednesday and went into the DBB bar! So it has only been

four days and she has been a trooper so far. I know it is more

frustrating for her to be in it because she can't move her feet

independently than hurting them. I cried the first night she was in

them, but I realize this is the hardest part of the treatment!

Question: I know you are suppose to have the bar at 70 degrees, but I

set it about 50-55 so she can be comfortable and plan on bumping it up

to 70. Is this bad to start with less degrees and bump it up? I

asked my doctor and he said it was okay, I just don't want her to

relapse since we did not get the tenetomy. Have any of you out there

started the bar this way?

Now I can give a bath--it is exciting! I am sure I will now

ask all the questions of the fun experiences all of you have had or

having with your kiddies in the DBB bar...
