Guest guest Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 an encouraging story for those starting this phase of treatment: Zeke can sleep in some of the strangest looking positions with his brace. He's been in the brace almost two years now (I can't believe it's been that long-seems like only a year at most,it has gone quickly after the first break-in period) One of his favorite positions has a foot stuck up straight in the air, held up like a flag by his brace. The other day I popped him in bed for a nap, braceless since he only wears it 12 hours, and as he snuggled in to get comfy, he stuck his foot up in the air and looked dismayed when it wouldn't just stay there! It does get to be just another part of bedtime; Zeke is very content to wear the brace and in fact I think he finds it comforting. I can put it on, in the dark, in just minutes. So if it's not easy right now, and frustrating, and sleep depriving for everybody, hang in there, use this group to get answers and support, and before you know it you will be around this corner of life.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Thank you for the encouragement! Mason got his DBB yesterday and I have now been up for 36 hours straight with him. He is finally asleep in his reclining pumpkin seat and I'm thinking that if he is comfy in there, I may just skip the crib all together for the next few days! > > an encouraging story for those starting this phase of treatment: > > Zeke can sleep in some of the strangest looking positions with his > brace.
