Guest guest Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 , for them they usually cast every 6 to 8 weeks regardless of age unless you ask for a longer period of time in between casts. Nora stays in for usually around 12 weeks because I requested it that way so we wouldn't have to make as many trips and I wouldn't have to miss work as much. I'm glad they got you guys in so quick, they usually do. We love the staff and drs so much. Keep us updated.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Tonya, Does being in the cast longer help? Is it better correction the longer they wear it? I'm so new at this and have so many questions. We were also told that they don't use any knit right or removable shirts underneath. Do you guys? If not, how does Nora's skin handle the cast? Sorry for bombarding you with so many questions. If anyone else has any info too that would be great. Thank you all. *mommy to Dylan 3 and Ian 5* > > , for them they usually cast every 6 to 8 weeks regardless of age unless you ask for a longer period of time in between casts.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hey! We go to greenville too =) I think Dr. P is VERY conservative in the beginning. But I think his rule of thumb is between every 6-12 weeks and that depends on scheduling. Hope Dylan responds perfectly! Have a great holiday!
