Karter update

[Guest guest]

Well we saw Dr. Ponseti today. He thinks Karter's feet look very beautiful

while walking. He does not walk by himself, so I walked him up and down hall.

He also enjoyed pushing the wheel chair up and down the hall. He seemed a bit

worried about his feet when he is not standing. Karter curles them behind him.

He said this is from the inside muscle of his foot being stronger than the

outside. He thinks once he starts to walk by himself this will even out the

muscles. He also told us we can go down to 14-16hrs in shoes. His feet are

still very flexable, I guess, his dorsalflextion (sp?) is 15. don't know if that

is very good, but in Sept. when we started seeing Dr. P. it was 5 on left and 0

on right, so at least it is better. We also discussed the s, because of

all of the sores. I told Dr. P. we really wanted to try to stay with Markels,

that we just did not have the $$ right now. He agreed we would try, but if he

has anymore sores or starts slipping again we

would get the mitchells. He just kept saying " These shoes are no good for him "

I will talk with my husband tonight and see if we can manage $300 right before

X-mas. I feel awful as a parent that I will not easily switch shoes, but I

really believe it was my error that caused the blisters/sores. Now that I have

solved the problem I see no reason to switch shoes.

Well hope everyone is doing well and happy Thanksgiving
