Re: I'm nervous!! Back to the Ortho

[Guest guest]

I hope all goes well on your visit. I know how frustrating it can be, my

daughter went into her brace 23/7 at 13 months. But time flys and after a month

of 23/7 her hours were gradually brought down.

We wish you two a good orto visit!

Well my son Aidan goes to the Ortho tomorrow and I am hoping that he

will finally have his hours reduced in the DBB. He is still currently

23/7 at almost 10 months of age.

He had his second tenotomy in November and casts removed December

22nd. I couldn't believe how great his feet looked. I think they grew

2 sizes. I've learned in the last year never to anticipate what will

happen at these Ortho visits because I am almost always blindsided.

I just wanted to vent some of my nervous energy in the hopes to calm

myself.

Thanks to everyone for all your support over the last 10 months. What

a year!!

He went into the shoes in July at 23/7, had a second tenotomy in

November, back into casts and back into the shoes 23/7 since December

22nd. So let's see. . . 6 months of full time wear. He is still

wanting me to keep him in them 23/7.

I'm going to talk to his PT today to see what she thinks. He is

getting so close to being mobile and cruising. I just wonder if he

won't start to weight bear a little sooner if he has a little more

time to practice.

Lynne,

I think it is a long time to be in the shoes 23/7 and could be slowing down

his progress at this point. I don't want to tell you to go against your

doctors wishes but perhaps you could site the global-help booklet to him where

it tells about the bracing protocol? Plus, any back-up your PT can give you

wouldn't hurt.
