Re: Update: Lilee...Odd reduced hrs in PM's

[Guest guest]

Christee,

If I had to guess I would say it is because he wants to give her more

free time to keep her from getting sores. If he feels like her feet

are well corrected, and perhaps even getting better after having been

in the PMs for a while, he may feel it is more detrimental that she

stay in the shoes long hours because of her propensity to develop

these sores. But again, I'm just guessing...

Hmmm. I emailed him and asked why, and what he based his decision on.

No reply to that yet. She is 9 1/2 months, just learned to crawl, she

can pull herself up and stand (wobbly) holding on. Not even near

walking yet! Has anyone else heard of Dr. P dropping hrs like this?

She was at 14-16 hrs. I thought this was odd. I am anxiously waiting

to hear his relpy as to why. Any suggestions or anyone else had this?

Hi Christee -

We just saw Dr. P last week and he reduced 's hours to 12-14

from 16 hours. I asked him " already? " as I'm afraid of relapses,

but he said that her feet were flexible enough and that keeping the

P/M off for that long would be good for her development.

was just under 9 months when he saw her. She just started to crawl

and loves to stand, but cannot walk yet. also had some red

spots from the P/M on one of her feet. Her red spots are gone now!

Best,

Yuuko and (DOB 8.4.05; P/M 12-14/7)

Christee-

My son was reduced to 10 hours by his doctor and agreed with by Dr

ponseti-however, we just do straight bedtime which it ends up being

12 to 13 hours in the brace. Basically he is out of the brace during

the day, come nighttime brace goes on and when he wakes up 12 hours

or so later-off go the shoes!

hope this helps,

kathleen
