Subject: Tommy Lee had his tenotomy today!

Tommy had his tenotomy today. Of course he screamed through the

whole thing but not any worse than when I put him down for the

night. Dr. Herzenberg was very happy with the results. He said they

hope to achieve about 10-15% of correction (flexion?) after they

cut. Tommy had 13% on the left and a whopping 27% on the right as

measured by the pre and post x-rays. He said it was the biggest

improvement he had ever seen and it was one for the record books. We

will still go back next week and see Dr. Lamm as Dr. H will be in

Italy. So they will still do weekly casting...this was the plan

because he wasn't seeing much improvement each week. I will keep

every one posted and assume I will see many of you on the 5th.

Hi, I was wondering, are X-rays always necessary? I ask because my daughter is

currently being treated by Dr. Ponseti and he has asked me twice if we've done

x-rays - I've said no. Now I wonder if I should ask when Lhea's casts come off.

He did her Tenotomy and yes, she cried through the entire thing as well.

Hello ,

Wow! That is great news. How is Tommy Lee doing today? You have to

change the casts only 1 week after the tenotomy? I know he is a special

case. gets her casts off today and the shoes on. I am

hoping for a smooth transition. I don't know when we will be back for the

next appointment. I will surely post about tomorrow.

Hi ,

I am glad to hear is doing so well. Yes the casts will still

be changed weekly as to further stretch to feet. He is doing well I

think. He has a terrible cold along with the rest of the family so

it's hard to tell if the tenotomy is bothering him. He was fine on

Friday and Saturday then started fussing yesterday I think because of

the cold. I will keep everyone up to date as things progress.
