le, HI,

Thanks for responding. I would love to have the pictures from the

convention of the kids. It is great that Colby is doing so well, and is so

Take care,

hey loretta!!

i add olive or veg. oil to his soups and noodles, half and half to

his milk as well as carnation instant breakfast. i make him a high

cal milk shake a couple of nights a week-1cup whole milk, 4 TBSP of

half and half, 2 TBSP of hershey syrup (chocolate or strawberry), 1

packet of carnation instant breakfast (any flavor or if i have none

i use hot chocolate mix), 1 cup of edey's dreamery ice cream, and 1

cup of another brand ice cream. it comes out to around 1200cal

depending on the ice cream used!!! i put cheese on his hot dogs.

peanut butter on his bagels. and i look for snacks that are high

cal. nabisco makes these snacks now that are 100cal per packet

(oreo, chocolate chip, cheese crackers, wheat thins, and fruit

snacks) good luck!!!

I'm glad you can finally get some sleep! We have had the same

experience with the ponseti brace vs. the markells... I wish we had

gotten them sooner - maybe we would have avoided the second tenotomy

had we been able to get her (and keep her) in her shoes from the get-

go. Who knows. But thank goodness for the s!

My son has always woken up 2 or 3 times a night and I have always blamed

his FAB then coincidently he got a new pair of shoes about 6 weeks ago and I

also noticed one day that he had ALL of his teeth through and he suddenly

started sleeping completely through the night. So now I don't know if he has

always had teething problems and now its gone or we have finally got a pair

of shoes just right. Now with the lighter mornings he does tend to wake up

early (sometimes 5.30/6.30 and has gone to 7.30am) and is ready to start the

day - but I can cope with that more that getting up all night wondering what

is wrong........ If he gets up at 6.30 I usually manage to get to work on

time so that is a bonus!!!

hahahaha! It's funny, with my first child we blamed every crankiness, every

bout of crying

every sleepless night on teething. With and his year of castings and

s, we

blame that. :) I guess I will never know what a full night of sleep is again

until they are

out of the house! :) But I did find there was an adjustment period both with

the castings,

the first two nights after new casts he would always wake every half hour, as

well as with

the shoes, that took about a week to get used to. Now? he won't go to bed

without them

on. :)

I'm so happy you are both getting some sleep now. Isn't it amazing

how a different pair or shoes can make a world of difference! I hope

you don't think I'm picky, but I did want to point out that the

Sandals and bar are actually a FAB (foot abduction brace)

and not an AFO. Ponseti is really against AFO's and believes they do

no good in regards to clubfoot. I just don't want any newbies

reading the post to get confused.

Just a quick comment on referring to the mitchell FAB as an AFO - the

instruction sheet I got with Livi's shoes calls it something like an

AFO foot abduction brace, and repeatedly refers to it as such - as

in " place the foot into the AFO shoe " or something like that. I

don't have it in front of me, but it basically says the brace is

AFO's attached to a FAB. I think they need to refer to them that way

to get them classified as AFO's for insurance.

I thought it was interesting when they came.

But obviously good point - wouldn't want anyone to confuse a regular

AFO with this brace!

That's great news that is happy in his new shoes, it must be such a

relief for you. We didn't have any real problems with the Markell shoes

after the first 2 days, but many people do, which is why Dr Ponseti worked

with on these shoes. Dr Ponseti told me that they are aiming

for comfort and ease of transition for the babies that have difficulties.

Sounds like they are achieving that!

Hi all,

My (18 weeks) received his Ponseti AFO ( sandals

and bar) yesterday. What a difference from the markells!! (We

tried the Markells for over two weeks and Nick was able to get out

of them EVERY single time...turns out his foot was not fully

corrected, and he has a very flat heel on his cf, so his heel would

not get down enough.) Anyhoo, I was thinking that I would hear

alot of fussing and crying from him yesterday when he received them

at 5pm, but that just did not happen. (With the Markells he cried so

hard that he forgot to breathe, it was terrifying) It was awesome.

He went to bed at 7:30 and didn't wake up til 6:45am.. Its actually

the longest he's ever slept at night, go figure. I'm sure it had

nothing to do with the shoes. Just trying to say that the Ponseti

AFO is certainly a kinder and gentler approach to the DBB (Markell

laceups).and if you're having GREAT difficulty like we did with the

Markells, its certainly worth a try. I hope all of you are doing

well. Thank you all so much for your companionship and good advice

while coping with difficult fit of the Markells, etc..

Glad that you didn't have any problems with the Markell shoes. Our story was a

nightmare with them. I'm SO HAPPY that there is an alternative to the Markells

for us. is as happy as ever in his shoes and the most important thing

is that he is NOT able to get out of them.

Dr Ponseti told me that they are aiming

for comfort and ease of transition for the babies that have difficulties.

They're definately comfortable. Dr. (' doctor) called Dr. Ponseti

and they spoke about the problems that Nick was having with the Markells. We

sent him photos of Nick's feet. Dr. Ponseti told us the reason he was escaping

out of his Markells was because Nick has an abnormally flat heel on his club

foot side.

Sounds like they are achieving that!

They definately are.

Update on

Hi all,

My (18 weeks) received his Ponseti AFO ( sandals

and bar) yesterday. What a difference from the markells!! (We

tried the Markells for over two weeks and Nick was able to get out

of them EVERY single time...turns out his foot was not fully

corrected, and he has a very flat heel on his cf, so his heel would

not get down enough.) Anyhoo, I was thinking that I would hear

alot of fussing and crying from him yesterday when he received them

at 5pm, but that just did not happen. (With the Markells he cried so

hard that he forgot to breathe, it was terrifying) It was awesome.

He went to bed at 7:30 and didn't wake up til 6:45am.. Its actually

the longest he's ever slept at night, go figure. I'm sure it had

nothing to do with the shoes. Just trying to say that the Ponseti

AFO is certainly a kinder and gentler approach to the DBB (Markell

laceups).and if you're having GREAT difficulty like we did with the

Markells, its certainly worth a try. I hope all of you are doing

well. Thank you all so much for your companionship and good advice

while coping with difficult fit of the Markells, etc..
