Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Hi everyone:) Well, Kris has learned to walk again after being in the cast's for almost a month and a half:) I posted more pictures of him in cfpics if anyone wants to see his feet:) He also is wearing the AFO's during the day from time to time. I was not sure he needed to have them after having been casted, but saw him pulling in the big toes and making his feet turn inward...I put the AFO's on real quick!! If anything it will keep him from doing that:) The most strange thing about all this is ...for as long as I can remember, he has fought me about putting on the FAB/DBB's every night! But after he got out of the cast's I had increased his time in them and started putting them on as soon as he got out of bathtime (almost 11/2 hours or more before bedtime) and not one complaint! I could not believe it!! he also likes the AFO's!! I am speechless... but very happy:) so far he is doing fine:) If the feet start to turn in again, he will have to get the inside tendons cut to release the tension. Has anyone gone through this? would love to hear any story's:) bye for now Carole and Kris in Hawaii 6-11-02 Bilateral clubfoot Ponseti method since birth, just finished a frontal relapse (?) of feet w/ casting. FAB?DBB 14to 16 hrs/7 days a week Also using AFO's when out and about running around ( still let him run barefoot as much as I can:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Carole, thanks for the update! I'm so glad to hear that Kris is doing well after his last set of casts. The pictures were great too - thanks for sharing them!
