Guest guest Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hey Shauna I hope that you were able to get it back on. There have been a few times where it was difficult to get 's shirt back on too. Try moving him around in different positions. also if they are sweaty at all that makes a huge difference. I think you would be okay to leave it off till morning or when he is not so full, but I don't think it is a good thing to leave it off till you go back. By the way when do you go back? Maybe we will get to see each other again.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 our undershirt is paid for by his hospital. But I have heard they are around $85. I have been wanting to see what a pair of tight fitting undershirts might go for of high quality material for the odd day under cast. They are easy enough to come by for adults, the ones I am thinking of, but I have never seen them in super small three year old size. I am very busy though, so have not as of yet looked. I was going to start with Mountain Equipment Co-op, which may be a chain local to the western part of the country I live in for all I know! But I thought I would start there anyways Shauna Mother of Kelsey, Kieran, and . > > Kylie is getting her second cast tomorrow but first one with the shirt.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 hi Beth, yes, the shirt went back on no problem this morning! Night and day from trying to get it on last night. He seemed no worse for the wear. He begs to be flossed with pantyhose beneath his cast, so he was able to have that done both last night and this morning. I have found it very, very tight to get the undershirt back on before -- especially when he was younger, it seems to get easier as he gets older and bigger. I imagine a lot of people would find this to be true of their experience had they tried to change the undershirt of a kid a little older than a year and a half, and then the same kid at three. I did not even realize that he was so full!! I had thought that he had eaten lightly and was changing it before he filled up completely. I have changed his shirt when he has been stuffed and this was the most stuffed ever -- I guess I did not notice how much he had clearly put into his little because his waistline was not going to allow anything back on -- he bulged everywhere last night and no where this morning -- he was SKINNY!! this morning. Wow, they can use those calories at night. We are back on Monday, Oct 17. I am taking Kieran this time and probably will take him from hereon instead of switching with because the lack of consistency in who is talking to the doctors I think is starting to cause confusion about where we are and what plan we want to keep, because we are always two visits behind by taking turns! When are you back? Shauna Mother of Kieran, and Kelsey. > > Hey Shauna I hope that you were able to get it back on. There have been a few times where it was difficult to get 's shirt back on too.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I so totally agree! I am always terrified of removing the shirt and shocked that Kieran likes to get it changed so much. I honestly think he would want it changed every day if I would only do it. I am such a sucker for my son. One of fears was realized last night when it would not go on. My worse fear is that he will get skin damage. His skin seems tougher as he gets older and so far so good with this cast. He has had a chronic sore for two years now that moves around his rib hump, as they change the area of pressure off of the sore each cast change and that heals and he gets new one right beside it, always with a bit of skin breakage. But it has never been quite bad enough to not cast and it has never been infected, or septic, or deeper than a few layers of skin, plus maybe some kind of odd bruise like marks. I am sure many parents have seen such marks. Getting older does seem to make casting easier for us, even if the correction has stopped for us and he has had some regression. Kind of bitter sweet in a way, that his body is stronger for the casting, but that the casting just isn't giving dramatic results. It's all good now though. The shirt went on with out remark this morning. Like nothing had happened. I suspect other than getting stinky, I probably could have left it off for a few days. Not willing to try though! As I have no idea. Just glad it went back on. Shauna mother of Kelsey, Kieran and . Sorry for the long note.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 flossing is where you take a clean pair of pantyhose or like material and feed it though a part of the cast and gently rub it across the skin to remove debris, relieve skin discomfort, and dead skin etc. It's done very gently.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hey , Our first cast was similar to yours, the shirt was built into it. All of our SLC casts have had the shirt seperate from the cast and able to be taken off. I really like having it removable more. I change 's once a week or so. It helps with hygeine and also helps sluff off dead skin, ect. You can always get to the tummy if you just need to kiss it! ~ > > > > > > > > Kylie is getting her second cast tomorrow but first one with the shirt.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I wouldn't recommend it. My daughter has a small cutout in back and it's too high for us to get the shirt down through the rest of the cast. mom to Audrey, casts and brace from SLC > > > > > > > > Kylie is getting her second cast tomorrow but first one with the shirt. We had to pay out of pocket for the shirt ($85.00) and I'm just wondering if this is in the same price range others have had to pay? > > > > > > > > Becky > > > > > > > > > > > > Becky Stuckless, Sign Language Interpreter > > > > Doug Reimneitz > > > > 519.818.3203 > > > > > > > > undershirt under cast > > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > > > We take Kieran to SLC and change his undershirt. > > > > > > > > I'm looking for words of wisdom when I put his undershirt back on tomorrow, or even leave it off for the next two months.

So my just turned 3 yr old Kieran talked me into changing it this evening. It was so very tight to get off!! But he insisted and wanted to be flossed with panty hose. So we did all that. > > > > > > > > Then it was almost impossible to get most of the way back on. He cried painfully when it went over his hump, and he never fusses about it. I had to wait until I had soothed him before continuing it seemed so bad. I was worried we hurt him. And it easily slid over the hump!! Then I got it all the way on except in the back where it got stuck, and I tried and tried, but was unwilling to try any harder as he was crying from pain and it was still stuck. He was clearly suffering so much, and it never bothers him when we change it in the morning like we usually do -- as he is smaller then before he fills up on food and drink. > > > > > > > > I can't believe I let him persuade me to change it at this hour but he seemed so confident and insistent! > > > > > > > > Shauna, > > > > Mother of Kieran (7th cast, 3 years old SLC 85 degrees precast, holding at 50 in cast), Kelsey, and . > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
