Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Oh, they figure it out. And you will be going " how on earth are you doing that?! " As a side note, the bent knee is not to discourage walking so much as it is to keep the cast on right and the foot held out to the correct angle. Congrats on your new 'baby " (I know, not really a baby, but they are always our babies no matter what age!) Angel new! Hi. we have a newly adopted 2 year old from Russia with a club foot. It is mild to moderate and the ped. ortho seems confident she can fix it with ponseti instead of surgery. She said she has had great success with it and was even now treating a 4 year old from Somalia with club foot. So we start the castings on August 27. any sage words of advice? it will be bent knee to discourage walking. How am I gonna keep this kid down? how quickly did your kids (if anyone has kids that were bigger when starting treatment) figure out how to get around?

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 You'll be amazed how quickly they adapt to having casts on their legs, even at that age.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 My son Tyler never had a problem crawling around in his casts. He is 18 months now and has casts on. He has bent knee and still trys to walk but most of the time he crawls. That is what is so cool about children, they adapt alot quicker to things then we adults do. Tyler amazes me how he just takes it and goes on.
