Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Oh how cool! I hope you and Kelsey have an uneventful night and everything goes smoothly from now on. I can hear how happy you are with her foot, it must b such a relief after so long without this kind of correction. I'm thrilled to hear it's going so well!

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 That's so great! s Bye Bye Kelsey cast Well, kelsey's 3 week cast came off today and her foot is so beautiful. It looks a little odd because of the amount of overcorrection but she is doing great. Dr. Von Stein was extremely pleased because her foot was up to 25 degrees in flexion and she said that she would have been happy with 15 degrees. Kelsey is now in her DBB 23/7 and so far has been doing great. She was a little fussy earlier today when first trying to maneuver around in the thing but she quickly figured out how to stand and crawl in it so that got better. Her leg was pretty dry and yucky from being in the cast so when she took her bath tonight, I put a ton of lotion on it and it seemed to be doing better. She has been asleep now for 3 hours and went to sleep with no problems. Her shoe on the bar is set to 70 degrees out and she is doing great. I cried when I saw that foot bend today. It is the first time since her birth that I have seen that move without causing her pain. The old Dr. used to force that foot up and cast it and it was so painful for her. I pray that those painful times are behind her. Thanks for all of the support. Hopefully, I will get a good picture of her foot to post here soon.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Excellent! It seems all that discussion about the outward rotation of the cast was for naught!! 25 degrees of dorsiflexion is phenomonal! I don't even think I have 25 degrees and I do not have clubfoot. LOL Glad to hear that all is well and here's to continued ease of use in the FAB!! Send on those pics! I would love to see fer little tootsies!!

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 I know what you mean. When got his last casts off, I just sobbed when I saw his feet propped up on the table at a ninety degree angle. I've never seen anything more beautiful, except when he popped out into this world! hehe! That's awesome! I am so glad Kelsey is adjusting so well. Enjoy the easy transition for diaper changes now that you can hoist her legs up at same time, boy can they squirm! hehe.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 That is wonderful news!!! Here's hoping to continuous success with the DBB. It sounds like Kelsey will adjust quickly.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 My son just got his 3 week cast off on Friday and seems to be adjusting as well. I know what you mean about her skin. I had some of the concentrated vaseline gel someone had given us and it got rid of the dry skin immediately. It pretty much peeled off. Good luck with everything!! > Well, kelsey's 3 week cast came off today and her foot is so > beautiful. It looks a little odd because of the amount of > overcorrection but she is doing great.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Thanks everyone. Kelsey slept her normal 12 hours last night without a peep. Woo-Hoo!! This is so much easier with the shoes this time than before when her foot was not corrected. I am very happy with how she has been doing. My mom was with us yesterday when the cast came off and I thought she was going to kiss Dr. Von Stein. It was a great moment. The next day on the calendar will be February 28 when we go back to Dr. VS to hopefully reduce her hours so she can get back on her feet and get mobile. Thanks everyone for caring and for supporting us. It helps a lot to know that we are not alone. Jenni frogabog wrote: >Oh how cool!

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Jenni & Kelsey, Congrats! I don't know why, but it's kind of neat that Ava & Kelsey started the DBB the same day! I guess it's kind of like being born the same day, just a crazy coincidence that makes you feel " connected " !
