Guest guest Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 I thought about it and even worked out how I would stretch it back over her arms but then chickened out as I was scared of the sharp plaster fiblres and dead skin actually making her more itchy when I put it back on as the shirt keeps them away from her skin. I used to pull it down wash what I could and blow dry. good luck Bert and Bridget <urbanmattandrea@...> wrote: Hi, I was wondering if any of you have attempted or succeeded in removing the stretchy knit shirt from under the cast and washing it and then getting it back on.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Speaking of irritated skin. Marissa just yesterday exhibited some redness that isn't a pressure sore, but has me baffled. It's on the front center on the bottom, where we tuck the diaper underneath the cast. The corners look fine where she usually has a pressure sore, could it be urine burn? It doesn't extend higher underneath the cast as when I look under, it is not red. It doesn't seem to bother her only when you change her diaper. Should I put neosporin? We washed her shirt and blow dryed it, but you can still she a light brownish color where the shirt would settle on the spot. Maybe we should cut the shirt. Any thoughts and ideas anyone? Thanks very much for the help. Jerry Marissa's Dad Re: can I do this? Hi- I haven't tried, but have wondered if you could do that. I'm afraid to try it. I wondered if something in the cast might irritate their skin w/o the shirt on??I just handwash the bottom portion of it the best I can.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 I would call the docs ASAP if you are seeing purple lips. This could be a sign that the cast is too tight.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Even if they’re not purple all the time, just when she cries hard? Thanks for your input.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hey- I agree with , I'd call and ask too, especially since she'll be in it so long- Any questions I have, I usually call. It makes me feel a whole lot better to atleast know! I'll keep you all posted on Evan and when they will fit him back in. Good luck - sounds like you all are doing well with everything-it's just hard sometimes to know what to expect since this is all so new to many of us!! <urbanmattandrea@...> wrote: Even if they’re not purple all the time, just when she cries hard?
