Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 We had are visit this morning. Went very well, love the place. We finally got x-rays of his feet, then they took pictures of him and his feet, then we waited in the lobby for a room, went back saw a intern, then awhile we saw the Dr. said his feet not all the way corrected. He looked at his Dennis-Brown Bar said the shoes are turn to much in and the bar isn't far enough apart, so no wonder why they never worked when he wore them. Then he said to get his feet molded for his new braces and he would put one more cast on him should be enough. Then after that we had to wait to put his cast on. The doctor and his nurse are wonderful. was asleep when they came in to cast, I put him on the table he woked up then they started to cast he wined alittle but fell asleep during the casting period, never before has that happen. He usually screams during the casting were he usually got his cast. It was amazing, this whole trip has been good. We come home in the morning. I recommend Dr. Dobbs and his staff and the Shriner's hospital here in St. Louis to other clubfeet patient.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Larissa, I am just soooo happy for you and !!!!!!!!!!! See, you knew it the whole time! His feet weren't fully corrected and the bar wasn't set up right. Once his feet are fully corrected and his brace is set up correctly, it is gonna be so much easier for you Larissa, a non-issue really. We were also casted by a different doctor (a tech actually) for Grace's first cast and after finding our Ponseti doctor, the difference was amazing. Glad that he was comfortable throughout the casting, must have been if he was sleeping lol. You must be so happy/relieved! Great to hear that he will be getting the PM's and did they say how many casts he needed, was it just the one? Super happy for you and and so glad that you decided to make the trip!

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 He says one cast might be all he needs. We come back in two weeks to find out.
