Guest guest Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Thank you . Your post helps alot. When the DBB is on and not rotated he still protests the same amount. I guess it is a hate thing rather then a pain thing. I will still email Dr Ponseti with pics though just to be sure. I was able to get the bar on today while he was playing. He wore it for almost an hour before he realized it was there (he was getting tired too). He cried (not screamed! Yeah!) and I put him down for a nap. He woke WAY to early so I removed the shoes and will put them back on when he wakes in an hour. I guess I just have to keep at it with this baby!

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Jody, Glad to hear you are making progress. Bedtime and naptime are the hardest to adjust too. But when we think about it, how would you feel if your legs were restrained? Keep it up, you're doing great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
