What were the signs that your child was relapsing?

[Guest guest]

I know I have asked this question before when we first started the

brace but you all will have to refresh my memory. I just would like

to know when your child relapsed what were the signs? Could you tell

they were relapsing and you talked to the doctor or did the doctor

say they were relapsing and you didn't notice? Did the feet turn in

any? Could they walk flatly on the ground? Any information anyone can

give me will be a great help. I just worry about Isabella relapsing

since she is getting older. She wears the brace nightly 12-14 hours a

night. She will be 2 years old soon.

Thanks for all the information

With Becky's relapse I had no idea.... the doctor kept trying to get

us to use reverse last shoes and I knew that was wrong. I talked to

Dr. Ponseti and he said that she probably needed a couple of casts

and then back into the brace. I still have no idea what exactly

what the relapse looked like per say, maybe that is why I am

obsessing now. LOL

It's funny that you mention the reverse last shoe. was in those before

for his first pair (unilateral cf) and they just didn't seem right to us. We

ended

up asking for a pair of straight last from a different doctor and they just seem

much better. With 's " relapse, " his foot was wanting to curve in a little

due to the tendon still being so tight. Part of this is normal behavior for

babies'

feet, but his was preventing him from putting his little foot flat on the

ground.

After a tenotomy, this has been corrected but still pulls in a little bit. I

think this

is normal though. The doctor looked at his foot Wednesday (after I panicked

for weeks thinking it was relapsing again) and said it was fine and doesn't

want to see him again until he's nearly a year old.
