RE: HELP! Just got the DBB...it stinks!!

May 15, 2004

My apologies if someone already answered your question... I'm on digest

version. I've decided to just respond to a specific post if I have something

to add instead of reading all the responses and then trying to relocate the

original post!

Anyhoo, I didn't find this list until AFTER Zoe had adjusted to the DBB, so

I didn't know that the clubfoot heel is not formed properly but after

wearing the shoes for awhile, it becomes formed and the shoes don't come off

anymore.

I was putting that shoe (never her " normal " foot shoe) back on AT LEAST 12

times a day, sometimes every 5 minutes! I thought I would go insane. Then

one day after a few weeks, I realized that I had not had to fix the shoe AT

ALL that day and the next and the next and had no idea why they stopped

falling off, until I found this list!

She started in the shoes at 3 months old, so it wasn't because she was only

a few weeks old or the shoes were too big.

Hope this helps,

Joanne W. mom to Zoe (3-25-01, right clubfoot)

Subject: HELP! Just got the DDB...it stinks!!

First of all...our son is only 10 weeks..so he is still in his

pumpkin seat. His bar doesn't fit down properly...and it causes he

feet to slide up and almost out of the shoes.

On top of that, we can barely hold him without his feet slipping as

well. We have checked and they are as tight as we can get them.

ANy ideas? I am going to call Dr. DObbs on Monday...but man this

sucks.

He had his last set of casts taken off today, and it was the worst!

He cried so hard. His feet are torn apart...dry skin, torn skin,

redness...it just looks awful. I cired most the day. He hurts so

much. I swear I can't wait until the 3 months of 23/7 is over.

Ok...I'll stop whining now. :-) Thanks for listening.
