crown

Ian got his crown yesterday finally after an annoying visit last week:



Wearing Schedule:
Day ON OFF nap bed
Day 1: Tues/Wednesday 1hr 1hr no no
Day 2: Thursday 2hrs 1hr no no
Day 3: Friday 4hrs 1hr yes no
Day 4: Saturday 8hrs 1hr yes yes (optional)
Day 5: Sunday 23hrs 1hr yes yes

After day 5 he wear it 23hrs a day for approx 12-16wks, the orthotics specialist did say anywhere between 21-23hrs will be fine so if he has a 1/2hr break in AM and PM and then an extra break for the cleaning of the crown it would be fine.

The hardest part for us and him is the putting on and taking off. He hates having it put on and taken off. Once it's on he's fine, he doesn't try to take it off or pull at it.

  1. Aw, I love that you call it his crown. Glad that he's taken to it so easily!

  2. He does quite well with it on. But then again, he is a Trooper!
