Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Hello! Dr. P told us he wanted Lucas in his brace for 20-22 hrs a day for 6 weeks and then drop to 18. We've had him in it for at least 22 for the last 3 weeks, sometimes more- he's done so well with it, so why not?? Anyway, he has started to stand straight up (yay!) and even shuffles forward if he holds onto something while wearing the brace. He looks like he's moving around on a snowboard! During his 2 hours out he's standing most of the time. He constantly stands, sits, stand, sit....on and on. His legs are getting stronger every day. I'm thinking about cutting his hours to 20 for 3 weeks before going to 18, so he'll have more time to stand and learn to walk (he's 14 mos). I already spoke to and got her opinion, but my husband is reluctant to cut back unless Dr. P specifically says we should. What's everyone else's opinion? Should I just email Dr. Ponseti? Thanks!
