Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Yes, there are others who have had a Ponseti doctor (even a " Ponseti recommended " doctor) tell them to reduce from 23/7 straight to 12/7. However, this is NOT the Ponseti protocol, which calls for a far less drastic reduction at first: 18/7 for some time, then 16/7, then 14/7 once the baby is walking. There's a note someone forwarded to the group from Dr Ponseti detailing this, I'll fish it out and send it to you ( I believe it's in the files section). Quite a few children have even had a hard time transitioning so quickly (started fighting the shoes at night because they were getting used to all that freedom during the day). Parents have found it effective to solve this by going back to 23/7 and reducing the hours gradually down from that. So, did you get some of the newest Markells? Jay Markell posted a while back about them. My impression was not that they had no heels, but rather a hole cut out in the heel area so that parents can make sure their baby's heels are all the way down in the shoe. They were to be available in the smallest sizes up to a 1, IIRC. If you got some, I would love to see a picture.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hi I actually had the same situation happen. My daughter went through all of the casting and then the tenotomy, full time shoes for 3 months then went to 12 hours a day and she did tolerate the shoes for the full time period but then after 3 nights of the 12 hours only she wouldn't do it... she would scream bloody murder until the second the shoes came off. We thought she was just really liking her freedom and it wasn't until I found this website that I realized that she could have relapsed and her foot was actually hurting her. We would keep trying to keep them on but it got to be very difficult and we went back to the doctor (who did train with Dr. Ponsetti himself) and she kept encouraging us to keep the shoes on and checked her foot but that was about it. She didn't seem to think it was because her foot relapsed but we don't know what else it would be. So we thought at that point that our only option was to do surgery.... until I found this website and they have all talked me into starting over with casting... so we did and now it is fully corrected again and we just did the tenotomy. So basically I am telling you to make sure and gradually decrease the time because you don't want to start over again if you don't have to. I am so thankful that I did but we could have been alot further along at this point. I hope this makes sense... I, of course, said something to the doctor (who is highly recommended) and she said she was following the protocol with the reduction but is now suggesting that patients gradually reduce to make sure that doesn't happen to them. Go with your gut instinct... just as you are and slowly reduce!!! Best wishes for a successful treatment..

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Our doctor just told us the same thing as well, but that we could do that in a another month. Aleksander just finished his second month full-time in the shoes. She just said after the end of that month, since he is sleeping around 12 hours a night now, that we could reduce him down to that. When I asked her about that, she said that definitely we should do it gradually, but didn't give much more information beyond that. She is also recommended by Ponsetti. > We just got back from our doctor who told us we could reduce from 23 to 12 or so hours/ day.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Thanks all for your help! I reduced to 18 hours a month ago. I thought I would reduce one hour more every two weeks or so and see how that goes! His development is progressing so much more with more freedom. I know that it usually doesn't hinder their development, but has tight muscles in his shoulders, neck, and legs that are much easier stretched as well as less restricted with the shoes off. He is finally starting to be able to push up with his arms! YEAH! 11/19/04 Re: reducing hours Our doctor just told us the same thing as well, but that we could do that in a another month.

Jay Markell posted a while back about them. My impression was not that they had no heels, but rather a hole cut out in the heel area so that parents can make sure their baby's heels are all the way down in the shoe. They were to be available in the smallest sizes up to a 1, IIRC. If you got some, I would love to see a picture.

She is recommended by Dr. Ponseti himself, so I know she is very good. Plus, there are others on here who have gone to her. I am tentative to reduce so quickly and don't plan to. I was wondering if any others who go to a recommended Ponseti doctor have been told to reduce this much. On a side note, we had to get a new pair of shoes, so I asked about the Markell's with no heel. I didn't know if they were going to make them. He said they had them in the office there. Did anyone else know they were making them? 11/19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
