Guest guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Hi all, Okay so we waited out the weekend like Dr. H suggested to see how was doing with her adjustment to the DBB and being out of the cast. Well, good news! She is crawling, rolling, and pulling up both in and out of the DBB!! She FINALLY pulled up tonight (out of the DBB) and put weight on her left leg/foot. I almost cried! Some of you probably think I'm pitiful but I was truely SO concerned with the way she was acting last week. I was persistent through the weekend with touching her foot during her free hour every day, trying to make a game of moving and touching it. She tolerated that pretty quickly once I started being more firm with my touch. I think I was being too gentle and making it worse at first. My biggest concern was the lack of bearing weight on her left foot. I was so excited when she did it tonight. You would've thought she did a cartwheel or something -- LOL! Anyway, thanks for the support while we got through this stage. Also, we saw the geneticist today and they said they cannot make any connection between 's clubfoot and her various other medical issues (heart defects, simian crease in left palm, and hooded eyelids). I'm taking that as good news since looking at it the other way causes more worry and I don't need that! We see her cardiologist tomorrow and I am praying that her two smaller defects will have resolved! Oh, and as soon as I get my pics uploaded from my camera I will post some of her beautiful little foot on CFPics Marilouise 9/9/03, LCF, DBB 23/7 Owen and 3/20/99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Yay, , yay! We are so glad to have such a positive report! Amazing how they can get around in that thing, isn't it? The only troubles we ever ran into were Jonah getting the bar stuck in a " tight " space when he was crawling around. And the bar being a little tippy when he stood on it. Here's hoping for as positive a report from the cardiologist as well...
