Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Oh, the poor little thing. It's really terrible that she had to go through all that. The good news is that the healing process is well underway. How is she handling it? dee15mom@... wrote: She had her appt yesterday. Her heals are still not healed.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 why didn't they do impressions at the appointment? They take a week or so to come and she'll need more casts waiting for them. The sore should be healed by now like the other one, did they do anything special for it? Test for infection? Also, 2w is too long with a sore like that. They should check it in no less than 3 days, and then recast again if necessary. Have mama and daddy go back to have it checked next Monday. Don't let them tell them no, it's not something you want to mess with and could become bad under the cast and you'd never know. Frequent checks with that kind of sore is essential. It'll also allow them to make the impressions and get the shoes on order. If they don't have impression kits at the ortho shop call /Jeanne today and have them overnight you a kit so it's there on Monday. Did they soften the cast in the heel over that sore? while it's hardening, just push against the plaster and break it a bit. Also, a layer of duoderm on the sore, and lambs wool over it (under the plaster) is a good healing option. Did we ever get pictures of her feet? Are they addressing the fact that her heel was rising? how is dorsiflexion? What abduction are these casts at? Got any pics of this for us?

He said he didn't want to fit them while she still had the sore. He says it takes 12 days after fitting. Next visit the plan is to fit her, then recast until they come in.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 does this dr. realize how long it takes to get them? First you do the impression, then send it. Then he makes the shoe. The he sends it to you. This doesn't happen overnight. Did he say what he plans to do in the meantime after the sore is healed? Another cast maybe? What point is there in that if she is fully corrected? Sorry, just don't see the logic in waiting to do the impressions.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 DeeDee, Are you sure they are planning on getting her the shoes? If they are, Kori is absolutely right, the folks at Shriner's should be starting that process now. It will take about 2 weeks for the shoes to be made in Iowa once they receive the impression kits there. Having sores on her heels is not going to make a difference as far as getting the impressions made and sent on their way to . Are they planning on putting her back into the Markells while they wait for the s to arrive or will she be in holding casts the whole time? I know how irritatingly obtuse the orthotists are at Sac Shriner's (we've had several run-ins in the past few years)... I really encourage you to double-check what the plan is and talk to Dr Lerman on the phone if need be. In the end, they have to do what he tells them to do. In the meantime, it's good to hear Isabella is doing so well through all of this!
