Re: Back to the Hospital Hayden Goes...

[Guest guest]

, I'm sorry to hear you guys are going through all this.

Don't worry, I'm sure things will get better. Just think about all

the stories you'll have to tell your little guy when he grows up.

Poor Hayden, Poor Mom! I hope this solution works well!

Back to the Hospital Hayden Goes...

In the continuing saga of Hayden Versus the Casts, I had to remove the

right one yesterday because his skin was deteriorating underneath (it

had been on for two weeks) and the smell was abominable. I have

posted pictures on my blog:

www.boyhamham.blogspot.com

So back we go today and this time my husband and I have decided we

will just put him in the Markells until the s come in. We'll

just buy a pair and not worry about it. Whether he is in them for a

week or two days, we'll just donate them afterwards, either to Dr.

Pirani's Ugandan Project or to someone local who really needs them.

One day I will be putting a post up that is positive, I promise!

Hi ,

Tried calling ya but must have missed you guys...I guess that makes

sense, if you had of used the pair we have here, you would have needed

hardware/bar anyway.

I know that you had much trepidation about using the Markell's again

after your first experience but now that Hayden's feet are fully

corrected, well, really hope they work out ok until your 's

arrive which is hopefully gonna be SOON! Great that Dr. Pirani will be

there too (does he leave tomorrow?) is great but nice that he will

be there to oversee.

I will give ya a shout later,

& Grace

I would have loved to use your shoes, but as it turns out, Hayden is now in a

size 0!! Progress! And since found out our s are at the border

now, it's only a matter of days so she just lent us the Markells - sweet of

her, eh? The nicest part was that she explained A LOT about the Markells to me

and so should we use them down the road, I feel much more confident. I'll be

posting about how thrilled Hayden was to be in them a bit later. I'm almost

falling asleep at the computer if that tells you anything.....

Nice of her to lend you a pair =)! So they are at the border, yea!

Hope that whole fiasco that happened there dosen't slow them up any!

So, I take it that he wasn't 'thrilled' with the shoes lol. How did

his feet look this morning? And hope you got some sleep!

Aww...I am so sorry to hear that. I hope everything goes well now

with those shoes. na's skin is still trying to heal 3 weeks

after her casts came off.

[Guest guest]

I think it's healing okay - it actually looks worse, very crusty and scabby,

but he seems okay about it. Poor little na, too! The orthotist explained

to me why babies like Hayden and na have so much trouble with slipping

casts (and also the skin troubles). As we both know, they are large babies

and they sweat which causes the skin breakdown, but she told me that when

babies have such fat feet and you cast them, all you are holding in place is

the flesh and the bones are able to move still, therefore eventually causing

the slippage. If you cast a bony little foot, it stays in place. The one

thing we can comfort ourselves with is that they have extra bulk on them that

helps them in times of crisis, when they are sick or upset and miss a meal,

they can afford it!
