Guest guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Thanks Deshea, Its working!!!! HE WENT!! Ouch.........no wonder he cries. He was a new person after that. I know he felt SO much better. And me I was so happy for him. Funny how excited we get when our children go to the bathroom. I called his pediatrician today and they told me to give him a little more. Not sure if that is what did it, but thank God he went. Haven't tried any of those foods in a long while. Its worth a try.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Hi Amy Grace is almost 5 and will go into a brace again this summer. I've used tank tops as they tend to be thicker than cami's. The trick is finding them long enough to cover under the entire brace. But I guess that depends on the type of brace. Ours always covers the same amount of anatomy as Grace's casts do, and she is VERY long in the torso. At the end of last summer, we moved to brace shirts. You should be able to get a few from your orthotist. Trouble with them, they are thicker and take up more room under the brace and my opinion, much warmer. Hope that helps some.
