reassurance?

[Guest guest]

I have only posted once before but read a lot of messages and have

feel like I've learned so much from everyone. If possible I just

need some reassurance - our son's doctor seems to know what he's

doing, he has all the " right " answers to our questions, and I can

see a difference in 's feet from one cast to the next. We

have completed the casting phase and he now has a DBB. Is it normal

to find this much more stressful than the casting? I worry that we

aren't putting his feet in the shoes correctly and somehow that

leads me to worry that his feet haven't been fully corrected. Is

this just something I have to suck up and get over? I guess I just

worry and wonder how we know that we are doing the right thing, with

the right doctor.

I've noticed that his toes want to curl under - is this normal? On

his left foot especially, his pinky toe goes under his other toes.

Is this unrelated to the cf treatment?

One last question, how long does it normally take for the child to

adjust to the bar and shoes? is usually a happy baby but

since Friday he cries out for no obvious reason. I think it's

because he's adjusting to the bar/shoes. How long should I expect

this to last?

Sorry this got long, thanks for any advice or reassurance if you

made it this far
