Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Lhea does this ALL OF THE TIME - where the heels become so soft that you can tear the threading from the plaster if you wanted to....Dr. Ponseti gives me a roll of plaster casting material for the last two visits and as she clacks away at the heels, and softens them, my husband " reseals " them. Seems to work. Jennipher Mommy to Lhea born 05/04 with Bilateral Clubbed Feet treated by Dr. Ponseti now. poohismybb@... wrote: did this a few times as well.. As long as the foot hasn't moved and she isn't uncomfortable I think everything should be just fine. Make sure there aren't any sharp edges. If this wasn't her last cast they would put the fiberglass over the plaster. To keep it strong. My little guy was just stronger than the plaster.
