Re: s as hand me downs?

ee,

Dr. Dobbs will let you use whatever brace you want. When the new baby comes

he will probably want you to try his new brace, but you should just tell him

what you want to do. Like prior to the tenotomy tell him what brace you want

otherwise they will just assume you want the molded AFO's on the articulating

bar.

2nd pair for now, to make sure his 3rd pair worked out OK.

I'm wondering a simular question about Dr. Dobbs if anyone can answer it.

We'll most likely be switching to him later this Spring. Will he insist I use

his FAB or continue letting E wear his 's? I hate to spend $300 on a

pair of shoes for only a few months wear!

s as hand me downs?

You'd think since I have them I would already know the answer to this, but I

don't!!

When has outgrown his shoes, would it be possible to hand

them down to

another child who needs them but can't afford to get them, or are they too

custom? I know

we'd still need our bar, so the new family would have to get that on their

own, but it could

potentially save a significant amount of money at least initially to not

have to purchase the

shoes. I'm just thinking that there have to be kids out there who can't

afford them, need

them, and we would be done with them. Seems like a perfect fit all around.

Especially since

our insurance helps cover the cost (we think--has yet to be proven!!)

Any opinions?
