had his surgery

[Guest guest]

Hey, all. Just a quick e-mail to let you all know that had his surgery and

it was successful. We won't know the complete outcome becasue we will have to

watch him as he grows and gets bigger and we'll see what his spine decides to

do, but so far so good. No we just have to get through the recovery....He's in

a lot of pain, but he's on morphine, so that is keeping him calm for the most

part...

I will be in touch. Thank you all for your prayers and support...

Hey, Kori & ee,

Kori - you may remember that Lily was new to the P/Ms at

about the same time Darbi was. She was 3 months old &

did get red marks in about the same place as Darbi's (worse

on her non-cf). But the red marks didn't get worse & eventually

went away, so they may have been caused by something other

than the heel counter.

Anyway, hope Garrison's marks are better today & you can

pinpoint the cause, ee.

mmmmm.... I'm not liking that. He's too little for the counter to

be rubbing according to *history* of babes having red spots on heels.

It isn't something I'd expect till size 3 or bigger. Let us know how

it is tomorrow. If it's worse... well... call . Plus, your

shoes are too small anyway. He needs to send you a bigger pair. ask

him to send you a sock to mold, he should have them by now (new

casting sock, I tried it and it's very cool but make sure you get an

infant size).

so where is the spot? is it above or under that *ledge* in the

heel? (the crease)

see if you can lie him into the shoe with it open and his foot

plantar flexed. Push it back and into the heel pocket and then

buckle the middle strap. Then dorsiflex hard and shove to see if

it'll go in any further. Tighten more?? if you can get it deeper

into the pocket and get that counter to press high up above the

crease maybe that will help?

got any pics?
