Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 He cried when he pulled his foot out but when he started wrapping the cast he kinda fell asleep. He's been a little fussy tonight and my husband and I have been taking turns comforting him, he doesn't want to be put down - unlike him. Usually, he can lie on his own and just look around till he falls asleep. I'm hoping he isn't fussy because his feet hurt? I didn't think it was supposed to hurt? Anyway, I did give him a little bit of baby Tylenol with his bottle. I hope this doctor knows what he's doing. Honestly, he seems a little bit arrogant to me. For now, we're going to have to put our trust him. Did Christian or was fussy at all with his first cast? I'm hopeing he's fussy because he's getting used to it.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Hi, My son always fussed during the night for the first few nights after a new set of casts went on. It seemed to take a few days to adjust. would always go right done too. We are now out of casts and into the shoes. oiy! And he's doing the same thing, it just takes a bit to adjust. Good luck the first few nights. Hopefully your son will adjust more quickly! (10-09-03) atypical bilateral cf > I wanted to post this because no-one but you guys can really appreciate > this.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Yes, Christian did fuss the first time around which was when he was 6 days old. At the casting time he fell asleep, like Aidan, but when we got home and at night for the first couple days he was very irritable. Now, the second round of casting (the right way) at 6 months, he cried like a maniac during the casting but was fine at home. I think a lot of it has to do with the difference in his age between the first set and the second go round. I think Aidan just might need some time to get used to it. How much does Aidan weigh now? He must still be tiny right? Little tiny fingers and toes :-) Do you have a bad feeling about this doctor? I know you said you questioned him and he seemed to know what he was talking about.
