Exactly!
I never ignore her even my life is disturbed , I can’t cook, take bath, go to washroom or eat properly , she is tensed , last day of cast was amazing for her , there was a break of 3 hours for her she played a lot I didn’t see her that much happy before, I thought boots will be easy to move for her but they are worst , she can’t move her legs like she is in a prison , it was her habit to bent her legs before sleeping now she is trying a lot to do so but she can’t , that’s why she is crying , she is forcefully trying to move her feet even I have noticed swelling and redness on her feet I had rub a small amount of lotion gently onto her feet , because of summer it is too hot over here I am in a great fix : ( we can’t use Ac for the whole day .. Kindly share any tips to make her happy , I mean which sort of toys I may buy to spend her time ..
Reha aap ka beta 3 months boot wala period clear Kar chuka hy ?? Night timings main 4 saal guzarna b boht hard hoga q k whenever I had gone to shopping or grocery everyone ask me isay Kya hua hy? Maine to ab outing hi chhor di hy car se neechy nhi oterti isay le Kar . People are disgusting passing comments , may Allah protect every child from this deformity because ilaaj expensive or 4 years ka hy bachay ka growing period disturb hi guzray ga ..

I know how hard it is Why don’t you blog a bit? Blogging helps me keep my sanity during this time. Casting I think is the easiest because at least the babies have some freedom. The boots are harder I think. There are other bars out there you can use that will be different and might help her move around more but if you can somehow get her used to the Ponseti bar, its best to stick with that.

For redness and swelling…its because of how tight the boots have to be. Before she develops blisters, try to find something you can put under the straps (its the middle strap isn’t it?) to distribute the pressure.

Are you using socks Saniya? Her feet will definitely blister if you’re not using socks in this heat. Use socks that are long, 100% cotton and NOT ribbed. Change them every night. If you notice she’s sweating a lot in her socks use some baby powder before putting her socks on.

Something like this: Babies R Us Neutral 4 Pack Quarter Socks - Babies R Us - Babies “R” Us

This website has pressure saddles listed on it…maybe you can find something similar in Pakistan:

MD Orthopaedics, Ponseti Clubfoot Products

A pressure saddle fits into the middle strap of the shoe and helps to distribute pressure for sensitive feet.

A few things to remember:

-No more than an hour of free time every night.

-VERY FEW will understand what you’re dealing with. Logon ki baton ka bura mat maano…because baby ki treatment lambi hai aur agar har baat ka humne bura manaya to nuqsaan humara hi hai. Tumhari bachi abhi bohot choti hai…us ke samne kabhi bhi mat zahir karna ke uske saat koi problem hai Nauzubillah. Araam se logon ko samjhao ke bass baby ka pair thora sa curvy tha…hojata hai aur bari common si cheez hai (and its true…its VERY common)…halka sa treatment hoga aur bass. Phir say something like Allah ka shukar hai ke koi bari baat nahin hai. Phir baat badal do.

It takes some time…you know how many times people have made faces at me at the grocery store? When I go anywhere with my baby people will always stare at his feet. It used to break my heart and sometimes I still have moments of weakness but now I don’t care. He’s my child and I am so proud of him…bhaar mein jayein doosray.

We are in 23 hour boot wear right now and just finished our second week. He is not happy with it at all…he hates being strapped in and I get upset when he gets upset but kya karoon? Its our job to make sure we do everything for them right now. I keep telling myself that my goal is to make sure he walks on time. So I just put them back on while he fights me…he cries, screams, kicks and is miserable for a while every single night. I just hold him and rock him until he falls asleep.

Thanks a lot for prayers .. Thanks to Allah who has blessed me such a cute doll .. Iski khidmat karne ka moqa dia hy Allah ne, her maa ko ye sub nhi milta iska ajer b behisaab hoga ya may be kisi boht baray gunah ko Allah maaf kr dy .. Allah himmat or saber dy boht rona b ata hy kabhi nanhi c pari ko takleef main dekh kar

Ameen. Takleef to hoti hai…definitely. Just keep thinking of the day she will take her first steps…imagine her walking…Inshallah.

I also remind myself that Allah swt ne in bachon ko sehat di hai…which is the biggest gift. The day I found out my baby would be born with clubfoot was the same day a family in the room next to us was told their baby had trisomy 13. I wonder what their journey has been like…how it must be to have a child you know will never lead a normal life. Allah swt unki takleef asaan karay.
