Kaci,

When you say she added some angle to the bar, do you mean the bar was

not bent originally or that she increased the bend (which would

increase his dorsiflexion)? Which bar do you have, red or gold? I

can't remember if is bilateral, but the bar should have been

bent originally to keep his feet at approximately 10-15 degrees of

dorsiflexion.

Usually when kids can get this kind of leverage to pull their foot out

it is because the bar is still too short. Do you have them bolt to

bolt as wide as his shoulders or back of heel to back of heel as wide

as his shoulders? If it is bolt to bolt, you can go wider, my son

actually likes his a tiny bit wider than his shoulders and I think the

vast majority of kids are the most comfortable with a heel to heel

measurement.

Tell me about the sore on the top of the foot when the strap is in the

9th hole. Is it just a red mark or is it an actual sore? A lot of

kids have a red mark on their instep from the strap of the markells,

it just stays there, doesn't get worse, doesn't get better. Just

stays there until they are out of the shoes for good and then it

gradually fades away.

My guess is that if you widen the bar more and go with the 9th hole

that should keep him in it, he may cry because he's frustrated that he

can no longer get his foot out, and he may get red marks on the instep

(watch this and put a bandaid on if it starts to look more sore, it

should resolve to just be a red mark as he gets the shoes more broken

in and the straps stretch a little).

As for the bigger shoe, it depends on whether or not he has truly

outgrown these. I can't say that I remember a child actually getting

out of their shoes because they were too small, although I'm sure it's

possible; they might hurt or cause sores if they are too small though.

How do you think they are fitting him? Are his toes past the end of

the shoe at all? If his toes are not at all over the end of the shoes

I would think that a larger size would be too big and he would be able

to get out of them even easier.

Oh, and one more thing, if you really do need a bigger size they

should be able to get you a script and get the shoes within a few

days, not make you wait until the 31st, that's just nonsense.

Gimme a little feedback on what I've said here and we can work from

there Kaci, good luck!

We have the red bar. There was originally a small bend at each end

of the bar, and the middle was bent also. We may have " messed up "

because when we extended the bar length we took that middle bend out

(had to or we couldn't adjust the length, and we thought the small

bend on the end was for the dorsiflexion). She made the small bend

on the end bigger yesterday. He is bilateral.

She actually made the bar shorter yesterday, she measures bolt to

bolt, we had it set based on heel to heel...so I think either way

will get out of it. Before she adjusted it, even with it

buckled in the 9th hole, he was getting out of it (although not as

often...I would say hourly instead of every 15 min).

As far as the sore, it is redder than it has ever been (we've always

had some redness in this area) and one spot looks like the skin is

rubbing badly - it isn't a sore yet, but I'm afraid it will become

one.

I don't think the shoes seem too small - his toes are right at the

end but not over at all. I know we can call the doctor for the

script and get the shoes quickly if we need to, it's just his follow

up is set for the 31st. If it seems that getting new shoes will

help, we will do it next week - no point in making me crazy if it's

a simply fix, I just have a hard time believing that's the problem.

It sounds like you're saying I might just need to suck it up and let

him fuss, but I feel like it is a pain cry, not a frustrated cry.

Once he goes to sleep he keeps the shoes on just fine, until he

wakes up, but if we have it in the 9th hole he just cries and cries,

even when asleep. I remember when we first got the shoes he cried

but it was nothing like this....

Thanks,

Kaci

Kaci,

You've got me kind of stumped. Are you sure the bar was wide enough?

Really heel to heel outside edge of shoulder to outside edge of

shoulder? (Not questioning you, just thinking outloud here.) I always

would err on the longer side, it seems that more kids are comfortable

with longer.

I would not say just suck it up because mama knows when baby is crying

what kind of cry it is.

On the bar, I don't think you messed it up, I don't know why they bend

those red bars in the middle, it defeats the purpose of having the

adjustable bar. They should be bent up on the ends - let's see, I

think I have a description of this somewhere...

" It has a fairly steep bend (maybe as much as 25 degrees, I've never

checked) at each end under the shoes. This is to keep the shoes up

off the bar (off set them, as it were). Then they level out a bit so

that the feet are dorsiflexed about 10 degrees. "

Oh, what about the straps, are they in the bottom slots on both sides

of the shoes? And did you slit the tongue keeper? Both of these tips

are good for helping to keep kids in the shoes.

When you put the shoes on and tighten them to the 8th hole, if you

pull on the heel of the shoe does his foot slip at all? Are you

seeing his toes moving back in the shoe at all as he is wearing it

(during the hour that he has it on before he manages to kick it off,

that is)? : ) If his feet are slipping at all you've got to get his

foot down deeper in the heel pocket and then tighten that strap tight

tight tight! I know you know all of this already but I'm just

thinkin' outloud again, lol. Have you tried putting the shoes on and

tightening them to the 9th hole, lacing up the shoes as tight as you

can (with the tongue keeper slot cut so the tongue sits low on the

foot) and then loosen to the 8th hole? (not that this would help

because he is getting out either way...but I guess you'd try anything

at this point...hmmm...)

I really don't think a bigger size shoe is the answer here. I could

be wrong but I just don't see it.

Kaci, I'm sorry I'm not much help here, I just can't think of anything

else at the moment. Hopefully someone else will have some other

ideas. Well, I guess the other option is to try the PM's....you know

how to do get ahold of them if you want to try that? 1-800-PONSETI

I am sure the bar was about 1/2 " wider than his shoulders, from heel

to heel - it was the first thing I checked when he started kicking

out of them again. We've got the tongue keeper slit, I've tried the

laces in all sorts of configurations...skipping top hole, skipping

bottom hole, laced from top to bottom, and bottom to top. We moved

the strap to the lower hole on the buckle side and he still gets

out. Can't move the other side because it is stitched down.

I am pretty sure the heel is where it should be. Our orthotist

actually drilled a hole in the back when we got the shoes - I look

and can usually feel by putting my pinky finger at the hole. My

fingernail touches his heel right away through the hole.

I wondered about the atypical feet, not sure how to tell that, but I

would have thought Dr. Ponseti would have commented on that? But

then again, he's a busy man so maybe he didn't notice since I wasn't

asking that question.

Our ortho is trying to work with the orthotics co to order the

PM's. I am hoping he will tell us at our follow up that they have

worked out the details. Or maybe we will volunteer to be his guinea

pig :)

Thanks for the suggestions...keep 'em coming if you have any more

thoughts!

As luck would have it I just had to put a shoe on. I checked the

heel very carefully and cannot slide it immediately after I put it

in. I checked the other foot and can move it a little (it has been

in the shoe for about 4 hours).

I can see just a tiny amount of the sole where his heel curves, but

not much at all. He is already " working it " so I'll check in about

30 minutes and see how much it has changed. I know if I had his

feet in there right, it wouldn't change, but I can't for the life of

me figure out what I'm doing wrong.

ARGH!

Kaci,

This probably is not going to be very helpful...but here are a couple of

suggestions based largely on our own experience.

Do you think keeps working himself out of the shoes just because he has

figured out that he can? Or do you think he's trying hard to get them off

because they are uncomfortable? How irritating to be putting the FAB back on

him all day long--I'd be going nuts just about now!

The only time we have any trouble with Jonah in the FAB is when the bar becomes

too short and/or his shoes get too small. When this happens, he'll be restless

at night and I'll hear him working his legs up and down in the brace until he

gets a foot out. I think that the bar being on the short side gives him more

leverage. As for the shoes, I just think they get to be too tight (he's

outgrown them in width before he outgrows them in length every time) and

uncomfortable and he wants them off. Of course now he can just tell us that

they are too tight; vocabulary is a huge help!

You've tried a lot of different things, I know. One more thing to try is to get

the strap nice and tight (9th hole, I think you said) and lace them up as snug

as you possibly can, tie them and then loosen the strap by one hole. You can

also switch out the laces that came with the shoes with some that are less slick

if you are having trouble getting the shoe laced tightly. I do find it odd that

the strap is stitched so that you cannot put it through the lower slot on the

one side.

Hopefully, something helps soon.

In your experience does a bigger pair of shoes help this? Any

My husband & I are double-teaming again to get the shoes on,

and he actually kept them on for 24 hours - we were afraid to take

them off last night at his normal time since he had kept them on so

good...we weren't sure we would get them on that good again.

kicked out again this morning so we gave him half an hour of

free time then. (Hoping this doesn't teach him that kicking out =

free time!)

His right foot (the bigger problem) was very red and puffy looking,

and there was one spot that was purple but did not seem to be a

sore, just off color. I think it's because he had it on there good

& tight and he was trying to wiggle out.

Kori, we are trying to make sure we get the heel down in there

really good before we tighten them down...I think that's what helped

him stay in them so long yesterday. Thanks very much for the help,

I'll keep y'all posted!

I am still waiting on insurance re:PM's, it sounds like they may

still be a better option for our sanity and avoiding relapse. If we

don't hear by our appointment and our doctor thinks we should go

that route, it isn't too much out of pocket (in the grand scheme of

things anyway). Any idea how often they have to get new ones?

Thanks again! and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

I just wanted to pipe up about whether or not the shoes may be too

small...I know lots of parents here are able to keep their kids in

the shoes until their toes are at the end or even hanging

over....but that hasn't worked with Aleksander once yet.

Every time his toes get near the edge, like around 1/4 of an inch

away, we have to get new shoes for him. He won't sleep through the

night, he fights me when I try to get his shoes on, and he's quite a

little beast. The first night in his new shoes, he lets me put them

on without any trouble, and he'll sleep for 12 - 13 hours without a

peep.

We used to have the Markells, and have just switched to the

s so I'm not sure how things will work now that we have the

new shoes. In the Markells, we couldn't extend the wear one bit

without messing up his (and our) sleep.

Kaci,

I just wanted to add to this, did you see in Naomi's post last week

definitely be the problem. So hopefully the larger size will take

care of the problem or maybe getting into the s.
