RE: help with DBB ee and Larissa

[Guest guest]

ee, I'm in CT- But I think you meant to see if Larissa is there.

Aren't you having that baby soon? and Logan

Larissa- I am a Child Protective Social Worker for the state of

Connecticut. While our systems are probably different from those on OK, we

often work with other states. If you have a problem convincing them how to

get the best care for your foster son, let me know and I can see if I can

help by making some calls! and Logan

Re: help with DBB

, someone told me you're in Oklahoma but somehow I missed that if you

are. I'm in Oklahoma too - where abouts are you located? I have 2 sons

with club foot over here about an hour south of Tulsa. I understand being a

foster-child situation you might be limited on what you can do but my first

advice is try to pull strings to get the child's cf treatment out of

Oklahoma - obviously there is no one here who can treat this condition with

much success.

DBB, wouldn't leave them on, sore on one of his foot. I call

orthotics, they made me apportment, His PT told me to keep them off

until I saw him. Went to the app. he said his left foot has

slipped, he call the Dr. I went to the orthopedic, they started the

cast back, he had the cast on until Jan 18, went back to othotics,

said the right foot is a little stiff. Well I haven't had much

Sorry, I haven't been keeping up very good lately. I hope you can help get

Oklahoma to help this particular baby. My Mom is a foster parent and I'm just

not all that impressed with the system hre.

Ya, baby due pretty soon! Maybe sooner than later the way he acts but all in

good time.

Now that I think about it, there is another on here-maybe she's from

OK. It takes a very special person to be a foster parent. Our system here

is pretty good, however I think it is because they are willing to pay well.

I notice most CPS agencies overload their workers and pay them peanuts.

Hope to see, " It's a boy " soon. and Logan
