Fall Fun

Here is a short video of the kids from this weekend. Obviously Eli, Maddux and Daddy had a great time Saturday night while Mommy was making dinner. I love love love how much my kids enjoy being outside, even when it's cold or dirty. Happy Fall, everyone!!

Hi, Nicole. My name is Brianna Preston. I'm not exactly sure how I found you--through the support group, or your video of Eli--but in any case, I understand that you take Eli to see Dr. Schrader. I have two boys with clubfeet--Caden who is nearly 4 and Levi who is 1 1/2.

I just had a quick question for you about what Dr. Schrader has had to say about Eli and brace wear. Caden has faithfully worn his brace every time he has gone to bed since he was about three months old.

Just recently we have started having trouble with him wearing it--he screams all night long! It's never been an issue before and he just seems to be wanting to be done with it.

In any case, I contacted Dr. Schrader's nurse and after a week and a half(!) she got back to me and told me that he really needed to wear it till he's four. (Two months away.) I know that this is the common recommendation, but I'm just wondering since he is SO close to that mark. . .

Anyway, I'm feeling kind of desperate and just wanted some feedback. I think that perhaps if I saw Dr. Schrader in person, and he could examine him, he might be comfortable releasing him, but I can't seem to get in to see him till the end of December. (Which seems like a lifetime away right now.)

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
