Re: curled pinky toes

[Guest guest]

Hi

Each time I mentioned it to our doctor he wasn't too concerned and

told us not to worry about it until we had his foot in the right

position. When it came to only having to wear his DBB during

the night is when he scheduled us in for surgery to correct the

curly toe as it can cause him problems when he starts walking.

Apparently it happens with a CF as some of the muscles/tendons are

tight and need to be lengthened. He will be in plaster for approx 2

weeks after his op and then back into his DBB at night.

I noticed Ava was also born in April this year and also has a right

club foot. Same as my . My husband also has yucky feet, dry

skin, cracked heels, festy toe nails. Yugh. My feet aren't too hot

either.

Cheers
