Hi Shauna, What did you use to trim the cast? LizShauna wrote: I called the Doctor about Hadley having diarreah and throwing up inher mouth. I told her I thought the rib flaps were too tight and werepressing in her tummy. Also that she was bruising there and gettingopen wounds. She suggested i either go and have a local dr cut the ribflaps down a little or to do it ourselves. She said this would giveher more tummy room. So, I ended up doing it myself and it

worked outreally well. And it took care of the problem. No diarreah or throwingup I just hope it doesnt effect any correction! It wasnt muchthough! Thanks for all the advice!Shauna

I called the Doctor about Hadley having diarreah and throwing up in

her mouth. I told her I thought the rib flaps were too tight and were

pressing in her tummy. Also that she was bruising there and getting

open wounds. She suggested i either go and have a local dr cut the rib

flaps down a little or to do it ourselves. She said this would give

her more tummy room. So, I ended up doing it myself and it worked out

really well. And it took care of the problem. No diarreah or throwing

up I just hope it doesnt effect any correction! It wasnt much

though! Thanks for all the advice!

Im not actually sure what it was. A cutter of my husbands. Im sure he'd know the name, but he wont be home till about 6. They are a cutter/bit larger than a scissor and much more heavy duty. To me, they looked like they were along the lines of a weed cutter, but im sure there not... They are good for cutting through thick stuff and wire, etc. Let me know if youd like the exact name.

Please let us know... I think i would be afraid to do it, but in an emergency it might be handy to have a pair of whatever that trimmer is on hand.... Steph
