Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Tabitha, I know there are others who have faced this problem with the insurance companies and fought to have the shoes paid for -- often it is a matter of how the orthotics company is billing for the shoes. I am sure someone will jump in here with some help in this regard. I mainly wanted to address your question about Karter not walking -- he is 13 months so that is really OK. Lots of babies don't walk (clubfooted or not) until 15, or even 18 months. I don't think most pediatricians start worrying unless they are not walking after 18 months.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 , Thank you for the response. I know you are not to compair children, but my daughter who is 5 walked at 10 months. Everything seems different this time around. Karter will stand, but we are very worried because he has one foot that has always seemed worse that the other. When he tries to walk he does not place right foot down all the way. When we asked the Doc. he said that it is still flexable and to continue with the shoes night and nap time. We are considering getting a second opinion, but of course we have to have a reffural before we can see another Doctor.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Hey Tabitha! Can't help with the shoe issues, but my daughter Ava was born 8/4/2004 and she's not quite walking yet either. She stands, and will walk holding hands, but is a big CHICKEN!! It's absolutely normal for children not to be walking yet--CF or not! > Hello everyone > > My name is Tabitha Yarolim.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Tabitha, If you have concerns don't wait to get that second opinion. If he is not putting weight on that foot I would definitely do it. Who is Karter's doctor? You are lucky to live in Iowa, the home Dr. Ponseti himself, are you very far from Iowa City? Your pediatrician should be able to give you a referral to whoever you want to see. Also, you can send photos of Karter's feet to Dr. Ponseti and he can give you an opinion that way if you just want to ease your worries. His email address is ignacio-ponseti@... that's ignacio-ponseti @ uiowa . edu (without the spaces). I believe he suggests weight bearing photos, back views and side (I'm sure someone else will speak up with their expertise on this).

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 , Thanks for the email address will definately seen Dr. Pontesi pictures. Karter recieved shots on Friday and our family Doc. said she has no problem with writing a refural. So that is good news. I would love to go to Iowa City. Right now his ortho is in Davenport Iowa which is 40 min. away and for us to go to Iowa City would be about 1 hour and 15 min. so it is very possible for us to go there if we can get in. Wait to see if he responds to the pictures. Thanks for all your advice. I don't want to be just parinoid mother. Tabitha wrote: Tabitha, If you have concerns don't wait to get that second opinion.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Thanks for helping ease my mind. I guess I should not push the walking issue. When he is ready I'm sure he will go faster than me. Is Ava your first child? Was interested in how many poeple have more than one child born with cf. Our daughter is 5 and did not have cf. Tell Ava Happy belated b-day. Let us know when she does decide she can walk alone. Thanks Tabitha wrote: Hey Tabitha!

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Tabitha, That is wonderful. I do hope Dr. Ponseti tells you that Karter's feet are just fine, but if he says " come see me " it is great that you would be so close. There are many many parents who travel across the country, or even the world to see him so you are lucky you are within a reasonable driving distance. Please keep us posted and let us know what he says. Thanks, > > > Hello everyone > > > > > > My name is Tabitha Yarolim.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 You don't have to register for support group. You are welcome to attend any, any where you like. You can attend different places to get information from more than one group if you like. It's all up to you. Take care.

I was wondering if I could attend the support group in richmond even though I haven't had the surgery? Is there pre-registration for the support group or do you just show up? I have so many questions about the process. I am glad I was referred to this site because I know all of you understand what I am going thru. It's hard living in this society and being looked at as a freak because your're obese. I would be happy to receive any and all suggestions from all of you. Donna JordonDSJordon@... Yahoo!
