Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Wow! That is great (except for the throwing up part of course). I am glad the transition went smoothly for you. Those shoes must be incredible. Also, I guess it helps that Christian and 's feet are really corrected this time around and there isn't any pain or discomfort, etc. Mommy to 12/17/98 and Christian 1/30/04 _____ From: momshook2004 Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 7:08 AM To: nosurgery4clubfoot Subject: finally out of casts! finally got her casts off yesterday and into the s. Yippy!! She hasn't been affected whatsoever. She is a happy little girl like she always is. No problems rolling over, crawling, etc. When she is sitting up she is very interested in what is on her feet. She stares at them and plays with the straps. I do want to add though that I was oh so excited about giving her a bath. She hated it and screamed through the whole thing!!! She was so mad at me, and decided to completely wait until I had her lotioned up and totaly dressed before throwing up all over me, the floor and everywhere else in her room. gets herself worked up sometimes that she throws up. This usually happened during cast changes as well. If I had known she was going to hate her bath and scream the whole time, I would have waited longer after I fed her. Oh well, it probably won't be the last time. I was totaly prepared for the longest night ever, but totaly surprised me by sleeping through the night. Not even a sound! I guess the shoes aren't bothering her at all. We will see as days go by, but I can't imagine things getting worse. It will only get better. We are keeping our fingers crossed that this will continue to be an easy transition. and 3/2/04; now in s 23/7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Hi : I'm brand new to the group. I love reading these success stories. Can I ask you about the shoes and why these are indicated with ? How old is ? My son , now 15 weeks, has severe bilateral club feet and has failed transitioning to the DBB because the shoes just would not stay on his little feet. He has had his second tenotomy done after his tendons just tightened back up and we will try the DBB again next week. We have Markell 0000 and are hoping for the best. Thanks, a and > > finally got her casts off yesterday and into the s. > Yippy!! She hasn't been affected whatsoever. She is a happy little > girl like she always is.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 That is so great. I am sure that you are absolutely thrilled (except for the fact that she hates baths!). Yay for ya'll, I hope all continues to go so well. Freeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 a, is 7 months. We had a bad doctor the first time around and bad experience with the Markells. We found out later that most of the problems from the Markells were due to the fact that her feet were not corrected all the way. They would not stay on her feet even for 30 seconds. No matter how tight we made them, she would pull her feet out. To make a long story short, when she was 5 months old we got a 2nd opinion with Dr. Herzenberg in Baltimore. He said her feet were not corrected all the way so we went back to casts and had another tenotomy. We opted to try the s this time around because I read great things about them and I didn't want to go through the nightmare we had last time with the Markells. Please keep in mind that if we had tried them again the 2nd time around it would have been much better because now her feet are corrected. There are many persons/babies who have no trouble with the Markells. As long as the feet are corrected properly the Markells shouldn't be too much trouble. Kori from this site has a DBB tip list that she posted recently. You can look in the archives and read it. It is very helpful to new parents starting the DBB.
