Kris in Hawaii: relapse?

[Guest guest]

Ohh, NO !!! Don't pay any attention to that last post.....I wrote an e-mail and

was so tired I forgot to put where I wanted it to go......Hahahah!

Sorry you guys:)

Hello all!!

wanted to update on what has been going on since I got Dr. Ponseti's response.

I did contact my son's Dr. (via e-mail) and gave him the e-mail I received along

with the story I wrote.

He is so nice:) And I was so worried!!!

So...he read the e-mail and also explained what those brace things Kris was

fitted for. There (AFO) ankle-foot orthosis w/ rubber sole so he can walk in

them,,,(?)

I do not think we are going to be needing them now, because tomorrow Kris will

be getting cast's back on... And he has been in touch with Dr. P. about my

son.

He cc's all our e-mails to him too:)

He said he is in contact w/ Dr. P. as often as he can, and has no problem with

my contacting him:) Also, he said there must have been a break down somewhere,

because he talked to the Dr. that was in looking at Kris when we went to

Shriners that day, and told him re-casting was something that he thought was

needed (?) I will never know, but I do know that if he was looking at

Kris....the cast's would be on already.

I'm so relieved, but I don't think things are going to sit well with Kris!!

Has anyone had to recast at around 22mo or so? Any advise on what I am up

against would really help me to be on top of this:)

He is getting his first observation for Autism and Development this coming Wed.

I told them that he would not be himself due to the casting, but she said it

would be ok, and that seeing how he handles this is good too:)

( I'm going to need some elephant tranquilizers ...heheh)

Will keep everyone posted:)

thank you, Carole & baby Kris

Born 6-11-02 Bilateral Clubfoot

re-casting 5/7/04

Ps. The best part to all this is it's our 4th wedding Anniv. ...May 7th! The

very day Kris is getting his first set of re-casting:)
