hello all...question

[Guest guest]

My son Karter, 15 months, has blcf. Have started seeing Dr. P.

Anyway he has been recasted 4 times since his first sets at birth.

We see Dr. P. again on Mon. He has never had a tenotomy. He feet

correct easily with the casts, but also relapse easily if out of

shoes for any amount of time. My question is since he keeps

relapsing would the temotomy fix this problem. He was to have the

tenotomy, but Dr. P. felt he did not need it. He is now to be in

shoes 16-18 hours a day, but we are still doing 20-22 for the fact

that I am so scared that he will relapse.

To all that helped a few weeks ago when Karter had terrible sores on

his feet. THANK YOU!!! His feet look better, but it looks like we

will have scares. The sore that was on the top of his foot will

scare for sure and also seems to be swollen. Will see what Dr. P.

thinks on Monday.

Last... ee You are a wonderful person and a very good mother

and friend for helping everyone on this board. We to are thinking,

just thinking, of having another child. For us it was never a issue

if he/she will have cf, but more the $$$ involved with the treatment.
