Guest guest Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 and all,I will post pics of Isabella as soon as she gets the arm casted. Unfortunately, we went to a ped ortho Tuesday here were we live and he said that it needs to be reset and she will not be able to handle the pain so we must go back in the morning to have her sedated to get the arm fixed and the cast on. Something came up though while we were talking to the doc. Isabella was seeing another man at this practice last year who eventually referred us to Dr. S. in Rochester. I told this new guy about her being casted for scoli and he asked me where we go. I explained that his partner referred us after seeing that bracing wasn't going to do the job. He proceeds to tell me that since then, he has started casting kids and has about 8 patients that he casts. I said we were referred b/c they were not trained and didn't have the proper table and he tells me that you don't need the table. He asked to see her cast and wanted to know why the cutout was the way it was in the front and why there was one at all in the back. Then he showed me xrays of a child that he casted and that this particular child went from 72 degrees to 35 in cast and that it's working. I have a feeling that he is going to try and talk me into doing the casting with him but apparently he hasn't been properly trained and so naturally I don't want to do it. My husband on the other hand thinks it's great (mind you he hasn't researched this the way I have) and I wouldn't have to travel anymore. Sorry to ramble on... , do you know of anyone that went to Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh to do any training? This is a tremendous hospital and this man and the other who treated Isabella last year are top notch but sorry, it doesn't sound like a good idea to me!

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Thanks Jane! She will definitely know the routine. Right now, I'm confining her because I don't want anymore damage done to that arm and she is not liking me at the moment.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Patty I am sorry Isabella has to be sedated and have her arm reset. This is the last thing you want to do, but at least she has been sedated before and you know how to handle it and your a PRO. About the Dr casting children. I would be a little weary, if you are getting good results where you are and they are properly trained, then stay where you are at. That is my advice, go with your gut.
