Re: Jen/ander...Dr. Pirani

October 5, 2004

Hi Jen and welcome to the group! You are in excellent hands with Dr.

Pirani! We are on the east coast in Halifax but ended up coming to

see Dr. Pirani to complete Owen's correction at about 6 months and

then a follow up at 13 months. He's doing wonderfully! There is

another member here also, Ruth, who also took her son out west to be

treated by Dr. Pirani (after the local doctor decided to schedule

surgery after failed casting - her son was also successfully

corrected by Dr. Pirani!).

As far as sleeping outfits, I just used (and continue to use) any

outfits that I could find that snapped all the way around the leg

area (to make for easier diaper changes) whether they are actual

pajamas or just rompers doesn't make any difference. For our

climate, fleece outfits are ideal since our nights are usually cool.

I also don't have to worry about whether or not he keeps his blanket

on through the night. I've been lucky enough to find most of them at

second hand stores (good will, value village, etc.)

Hope this helps,
