Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Jenn that's great!! Lucas' showed up on Monday- but we haven't gone there yet. When are you taking 's casts off? We're doing ours on the 6th- a day before the 3 week mark, but Brad will be off that day so he can soak them. Did you just get the shoes, or did the bar come also? I'm worried that our orthotist won't do something right. We have to go back to the same guy who told me that nobody put a 10 degree dorsiflexion bend in the DBB anymore- that's way old!! I've got to email Dr. Ponseti anyway, so I was going to ask him exactly how it needed to be set up so I know if the guy is doing it wrong! Hope 's doing alright! Jenn > > Wow was that fast!!!
