Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 - I don't know where my post is from yesterday. Did it go to you only?? I was trying to answer with your msg attached but I guess it didn't work. Anyway, for you and others who asked, yes, we are aware this isn't *standard* protocol and my dr is too, as she trained with Dr. Ponseti. She modifies treatment for each patient and has a very high success rate so we are not worried. She's very experienced. I even asked about the 23/7 when we started b/c I had read about it and she felt it wasn't necessary in his case as we are getting the same results she looks for with 12/7. He has a mild case. We also haven't had any problems whatsoever, not one blister and he's never kicked off a shoe. We, as well as our dr, are vigilant. We are very comfortable with his treatment as he is progressing very well. Why do I feel like I´m defending the treatment he´s getting??? We're not going through this blindly... thank you all for your concern. For us, clubfeet is just another part of his life; it definitely is not the center of our world. If it were more severe, maybe it would be. It's not something I worry about daily. The adjustment to sleeping has been the only issue and that again seems under control. He takes his morning nap with the bar on as well and it seems fine. I just wanted to touch base here with others who have had the same experiences. Seems most are further along than we are in the process. It's nice to be able to look ahead a little. Thanks again for the welcome!
