Update on Livi - back in the brace...

[Guest guest]

Livi got her casts off today and is going back in the FAB. Her second

tenotomy was about a month ago. Today Dr. Schmale said that Livi's

right foot (the easy one) had a good 15 degrees dorsiflexion, but the

left one (the stiff one) was only getting 5-7 degrees. I'm feeling

discouraged - oh how I pushed for the second tenotomy instead of the

capsule release - and it sounds to me like it didn't get the results

we want at all! It's better than it was beforehand, but it's still

not coming up.

I'm worried that she still will have issues keeping her shoes on since

her left foot isn't coming up like it should. We'll see....

Any advice?
