Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 We took Lucas' casts off today and went to the orthotist to pick up the brace. We waited until we were home to put it on, and I absolutely love it!! Immediately after putting it on, Lucas rolled over and crawled away- didn't phase him a bit. Right now he's taking a nap. He didn't even make a peep, just fell right asleep. His heels are up pretty high but I read enough of everyone elses posts so I won't worry about that for now. We're in the brace for 20-22 hrs each day for 6 weeks, then he said we could drop back to 18. We go back in April for a follow up. His feet look so pretty! It's amazing, I know now that he was never fully corrected with his other two doctors- there's a big difference. Our orthotist had never heard of the Ponseti bar, but he loves it. He has already ordered another one for another clubfoot baby here because the parents are having problems with the DBB. The orthotist looked like a kid in a candy store, running his hands over the brace. It was like Christmas for him! I'm happy that he's found out about the Ponseti bar with the shoes. He's even called a friend who lives out of state (also an orthotist) to tell him about it! Jenn Lucas 12/10/04 bilateral clubfoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
