Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Hi Marilouise, Dr. Dobbs told us to go to 12hrs a day from 23hrs a day but he also told me that if I could get in more hours in the day that would be good too. He also gave me another foot exercise to do. So like when he wakes up between 5:30am and 7:00am for his breakfast he is usually tired after he eats then and I just leave his shoes on until he wakes up again. Then I take them off until late afternoon to early evening. So he's in them longer because I'm afraid of him relapsing since he's kinda had a rough start with being born 7 weeks early and only weighing 3lbs 8oz at birth. Hopefully this helps a little.

I have a question for you and anyone else that I keep forgetting to ask. When originally came off the DBB 23hrs/day, her old doc immediately put her to nights only (12hrs/day). Is that " normal " ?? Also, she wore the bar on the shoes for those 12 hours but she wore the shoes ALL day (1-2 hour break each day). Again, is that " normal " ??? Just wondering. With Dr. Herzenberg treating her now, I am sure things will be different but I am just wondering how much her old doc was deviating from what other docs do.

Glad the orthos found a way to keep his foot in! That can be so frustrating of course! Happy things are working out for you!
