Guest guest Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Our son Landon is 19 months old and just had his 2nd cast applied yesterday at Shriner's Erie, PA. It was another great experience and he is doing great! He grew 3 inches and is down from 51* Cobb and 18* RVAD to 37* and 0* out of cast. He is down from 29* and 6* in old cast to 27* and 0* in new cast.He was actually due for the 2nd last month, but he came down with Bronchitis. Both he and his non-scholi brother are in daycare 5 days a week and have been sick more times than I care to count this winter. I don't know if that is the norm for daycare? Last Friday prior to his appointment, he came down with diarrhea and woke up Saturday morningcompletely covered in poo. Luckily I was planning on removing the cast myself anyways that day...I used a pair of landscape pruning sheers and it was very easy. Took less than 10 minutes. I didn't expect this, but once the cast was off, he had some trouble standing and walking for a couple of hours. I guess he had to re-learn his balance point...he was so excited to get a regular bath!Sent from my iPhone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
