Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Oh that is so wonderful, I know how thrilling it is to gain some normalcy in your life. s. Kaitlin Update Hello all. Just an update on Kaitlin. She got downgraded in her time! :-) :-) YAYYYY!!! Dr. Frick says that she can go down to 12h/day now! We are going to go down to 14h/day. (8p-10a) I know that different docs have different rates, but Kaitlin is able to crawl now YAY! and bear weight when leaning against something (for very short periods) YAY! So I think that 14h will be okay. We went to Nordstrom and got her first pair of REAL shoes today! Some prewalkers by Stride Rite. They measured her feet and they are over a 1/2 size different...but hey, that's why we went to Nordstrom! I really wanted the Robeez, but her little foot is so fat that the elastic left marks. :-( I am just THRILLED for her to be out of the brace during the day so much now! YAY! I never thought we would make it past the 23/7 period but we did and I believe that I owe the people on this board a HUGE THANK YOU!!!! I don't think we could have stuck it out without the encouragement and education recieved here, not to mention the venting that you all let me do during difficult times. THANK YOU. I am so very GRATEFUL to have found you all. I hope that everyone's progress continues so well. To all of the parents brand new to the DBB....The day will come when the brace will not be a PITA! The day will come when you don't hate it. The day will come when it won't be a burden or a hassle. You won't want to throw it at the wall. The day will come when your child will crawl and walk. It will payoff and the day will come when you are thankful for it and your child will be thankful to you for being so persistant and commited. Most of all, those times will come SO much sooner than you think. I never thought we would get here. I never thought I would be so thankful for that damned old bar that I used to hate so much...but doggonit..I am. Freeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
