Guest guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Cant stop thinking about this.....Pardon my ignorance on epilepsy, but do children have seizures when they are sleeping? I wanted to let you know that standard protocol for the traction applied while casting is only 1/3 of the childs weight or less. It's a gentle traction and easy to remove immediately, if need be. I know you have discussed this with your casting doc at length, so please continue to keep us informed on this issue. I'll let you know what I find out too.
