Dr Ponseti's reply

The feet appear to be well corrected. I am not sure, however, of how much

dorsiflexion he has because there are still folds of skin on the back of the

heel. I wonder if the heelcord is somewhat tight, which would possibly explain

the blisters he incurred when wearing the brace

Hi ,

Can you tell if his cry is pain or just mad? I noticed with Ava she

would wake in the night with her casts on with the first doc due to

pain she would cry so hard then pass out from pain. It was horrible!

Then we switched docs and she would wake once or twice but she had an

angry cry and would drift back of to sleep. It was as if she was just

expressing her dislike to them. I know when we see Dr. Ponseti he

will recast her and I wonder if she will react diffrently due to be

older and just getting use to the DBB and having the casts put back

on.
