Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Saw Dr. Pirani today around lunchtime and got Hayden's cast reapplied. This time they used the smaller size of the sock type underlayer on his foot and some Friar's Balsam to prevent further slippage. Hayden screamed like a Banshee for the first part like he usually does, but calmed down and before we knew it, it was done. His foot had not lost any correction or dorsiflexion, so we're in the clear and just need to keep these babies on until his shoes arrive (please God, let that be SOON!) Whew! I'm getting exhausted from all of this and don't know how you parents have done it when you had to travel great distances! My hat comes off to all of you who have been through that.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 I'm assume you take Hayden to a Ponseti doctor, but if he screams so much for casting and you suffer so much slippage I have to wonder about the doctor's ability/skill level here. s.
