Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Congratulations!!!!! How exciting for all of you, especially Eli. I can't wait until we get the same report for (DBB 23/7). All in due time, I guess... Congrats again! Anne > > We just got back from taking Eli to get his feet checked (regular > visit). D. sy (ATL) said they look GREAT.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I don't want to rain on any parades but be sure his " night " wear is at least 12 to 14 hours minimum. His feet look terrific because the FAB is working! Don't give up on it now - relapses can and will occure with too little use at this young of age. Congratulations though, wishing you all the best. ee Mother of 3 Clubfooted Sons: - Bilateral Club Feet April 1998 Everett - Bilateral Club Feet September 2003 Garrison - Bilateral Club Feet March 2006 Visit us on the Web! www.WildlifeRevivalTaxidermy.com Oh Happy Day!!! We just got back from taking Eli to get his feet checked (regular visit). D. sy (ATL) said they look GREAT. We told him that we've been leaving the bar off when he's crawling around, and that he really only wears it during naps, walks (stroller), and nighttime. The doc said only put it on at night, because the feet look that good....very corrected. (he's 11 months and has been in casts/bar since 10 days old.) We are soooooooo happy about this!!! This is what we've been praying for since we found out about his feet way back before he was born!! I posted a picture of Eli taking his first nap without the bar on his website (www.ele5.blogspot.com)....look at those normal feet!!! & Eli bcf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Thanks, ee. I assure you my husband and I are very conservative with the bar. Up until 2 weeks ago (10.5 months) we were still leaving it on all but about 5 hours each day. (Even though his doc said he coudl have it off for 10 hours.) And now, i'll still leave it on if he's going into the car or the stroller when he wakes up, and he'll still have it on for half of his naps. It's 12 hours at night, plus whatever extra I do. Thanks for the word of caution!! & Eli Eliason nikkiming@... www.ele5.blogspot.com --------------------------------- Groups are talking. We & acute;re listening. Check out the handy changes to Yahoo!
