Guest guest Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Hello, I am a stay at home mom of 3 kids ages 5, 3 yrs, and 16 month old. The 5 yr old is high functioning autistic. She is in regular classes now in school but the school is very supportive and nurturing. She is doing very well in school but does have trouble staying on task and concentrating. But she is 5 not to mention the other stuff. At home we have seen so much progress as well she still tantrums but no where near as much and it seems to come in cycles. She is on no meds now occasionally on a bad day she will need clonadine before bed but hardly ever. She has been a very bad toe walker for years and despite physical therapy she is needing intervention. Her muscles have all shrank and it causing her pain. In 2 weeks she starts the cast process. She will get casts on every 2 weeks till we get the desired range of montion. I know this is going to be so hard on her I worry it will cause her to back slide. Plus she'll only be in school half a day during the summer which is hard on her anyway. Has anyone else had this procedure done? I feel very comfortable getting it done I trust the dr's and know that something needs to be done. I feel strongly that once we get the rom back she will stay down. I think this will be hard on her where she won't want to do it again as well as things do not bother her feet like they used to. Well this is kinda long winded huh!
