RE: question about 's upcoming shoes

[Guest guest]

,

I just wanted to ask you if you spoke to Dr. H about the shoes?

You made me think about it when you said you had a bad experience with the

Markel so I figured I would see what his thoughts were on them for Christian

and he said that the Markel shoes would be fine. He indicated that he

recommends the shoes more often for children with Atypical

Clubfoot. What kind of problems did you run into with the Markel shoes?

Sorry for the delayed response. It was a crazy busy weekend! did

the expected; screaming and crying until it was all over. She has been

very happy since the event except teething and a cold that is irritating

her right now. I now call her candycane girl. She only had the tenotomy

on the right foot, so they put a plaster cast back on and then they put a

red soft cast on the left foot. It is quite funny looking. So far no

comments from strangers, but it is only a matter of time. said

nothing about the 3 week appointment so I don't know if there was a

problem.

I am ready for the casts to be done!!! At the same time, I am not looking

forward to the shoes and bar experience again.

We had the general problems everyone has: feet kept slipping out, no

matter how tight we made them (heels were down) her feet would still come

out. They wouldn't even stay on for 30 seconds. We have discovered

though that it could have been from the feet not being fully corrected.

There may have been other factors as well. Even still, we opted to go

straight to s this time due to the great response everyone has

with them. If I were you, I would try the Markells first. As you know,

many babies have little to no trouble with them. And for the cost factor

alone, it is at least worth a try. If you get them and try them and they

still don't work out, at least you tried. When you get them, go through

Kori's tips to make sure everythings okay.

I have to send 's casts to Mr. today, so he can get started

working on them.
