Seems a little extreme to me, also. Granted people tolerate pain better than

others, but this does seem a little extreme. They just re-did the tenotomy,

right? Or was there something else involved? Even after had his ATTT

operation, including a 2nd tenotomy, he didn't react with much sensitivity at

all. I imagine you're about worried sick by now, huh.

Hi ee,

Yes, a little progress. In the DBB she still won't make any

attempts to crawl. Will roll over in her crib but that's it. I

think that is mostly due to not knowing she can do it yet. I am

going to email Dr. H about the refusal (or my worry is the

inability) to put weight on her left foot. And I don't like the

intense screaming when I touch that foot. Seems over the top for

just sensitivity, but again I really have no idea. I guess I'll see

what he says.
