Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Posted February 1, 2006 Just an idea on the daycare issue- My son was reduced first to 20/7-so we had them remove the shoes 4 hours prior to his bedtime-which was roughly 2pm. Then we got reduced to 16/7 and had them remove the shoes at 10am. This way-we didn't have them put the shoes on/off-I wanted to save them the hassle since my son is a squirmer when we put him in the shoes. Just a thought, kathleen > > We were able to get into see Dr. Q today and have her shoes fixed. Dr. > Q thought her foot looked really good and was even more flexible than > before.
