Re: About the price of DBB

My son also had his tenotomy under General Anesthesia.

It was a very quick procedure, and he was away from

us for a total of about 30 minutes. As soon as he

started to wake up they came and got me and I was able

to nurse him right away. He nursed to sleep, woke up

about 15 minutes later and nursed again. Then slept

again. They gave him tylenol w/ codine before we left

the hospital and I think I gave him regular infant

tylenol 2 more times, once later that day and once the

next a.m. After about 24 hours he was back to his

usual cheerful self! Hope this helps, sorry so short.

My daughter has a tenotomy done under general, and had to stay overnight at the

hospital. This is commonly done as an office visit, but the doctor thought that

since Sydney's feet were really stiff he could get a better post-tenotomy

casting with her asleep. And the $350 does include the bar, additional shoes (as

they outgrow them) are only $150.

Ashilles' tendon cut next Tuesday. Our doctor Amnuay is going to do it

in the OR under general anesthesia. From my understanding,this surgery

should be a office procedure. I am just wondering if some of your

children went through the general anesthesia when they had the

tenotomy. By the way,we just contacted the company.They said

that the price of a pair of brace is 350$. I assume that would inclue

the bar. Thanks to Terasa, the information you shared about

the " instruction for brace use " will be a good help,even though we have

not reached the point for our baby to wear the brace.
