Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 And I'm starting to get nervous. Darbi's got an appointment on the 13th with Dr. Sussman. Who, if anyone remembers wanted to let her discard the FAB at 17mo's. I refused, and said at least till 3. Now I'm getting nervous as 3 is about 3 mo's away and I'm thinking another 6mo's would be the best option for her. She was considered mild at birth, corrected easily and has never had any issues with relapse or correction. In fact... her foot looks about as normal as can be except the heel which is more rounded than her non CF. She'll be getting an x-ray at her appointment (well SEE if any bones are crossed lol!). I am fairly certain that she would be fine with discarding the FAB but I'm not entirely sure and it just seems to me that it would be so much better and easier to play it safe and go to 3-1/2yo now. She can't hardly sleep without it and it's so much a part of her life that it wouldn't be so much to just go the extra 6mo's. I don't think she'll need it past that though. I have a feeling that even Dr. P. would say she could stop wearing it. I'd be kicking myself big time if she did have a relapse though. It would be very difficult to go back to it if that happened and I really don't even want to risk the possibility. But then again... she's in such good shape with this the chances are low. Thoughts?
