It was a crazy ...Jo-Ann, thanks for your comments! It was a crazy day, but it all worked out; we love the RMH, but it was kind of nice to not have to worry about cleaning the bathroom, making meals, and getting our chores done - it was like a mini-vacation!<br /><br />What a great idea on the insulation - I think we'll have to do that and then make a fabric cover to go on top. Our furniture is already pretty damaged from his bar when he was a baby, I wish I would have known about the nosurger4clubfoot group back then!<br /><br />And 3 1/2 weeks sharing a bed with a casted child is pretty close to sainthood :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03312098792066726151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1667576316734575982.post-90726281252368667532009-12-31T02:01:37.550-05:002009-12-31T02:01:37.550-05:00Oh my gosh, what a fiasco!

What troopers the two of you are!<br /><br />We have been through Minneapolis numerous times and yes, the moving sidewalks are a blessing for kids, even in casts! Matthew loved getting on and off with his crutches.<br /><br />Matthew has never reached that magical 25 degrees of dorsiflextion. No idea why. Right now, we are thrilled that he is about 10-15 degrees. The best we can ask for.<br /><br />So glad to hear this is the last set of casts! Yay!<br /><br />Btw, I used a piece of tubing meant to insulate hot water tank pipes to cover Matthew's bar. Made a slit in it and fit it over the bar. Saved the furnature and my legs.<br /><br />And yes, sleeping with a kid in casts is never fun...we spent 3 1/2 weeks at a RMH sharing a double bed. Many a night I had a big ol' cast in the back!Jo-Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11890092522436064041noreply@blogger.com
