Morning. On his tendons and will be in walking casts (below knee to foot) for 4 to 6 weeks. This is to correct his toe walking. Prayers and good thoughts please! Thanks! I'm scared and nervous.

Wow- I didn't know anyone else had that! My great-niece is 6 and walked on her toes from her first steps. It was kind of cute but when the inevitable problems arose, they tried everything (exercise, corrective shoes, etc.) and nothing worked. She had that surgery last year. Funny thing- I don't remember hearing about whether it worked even though I talk to my parents weekly. I can tell you that she came through the surgery just fine and her parents posted wonderful pictures of her and her little sister in party dresses, dancing at a charitable event. Great-niece was still in some sort of cast/shoes, but it didn't stop her. I'm on FB with her mother and I'm guessing that the surgery worked since I haven't heard otherwise.
I'll keep thinking positive thoughts for your son!

Hugs and positive thoughts for all of you!
Looking for a positive: walking casts are much better than crutches or a wheelchair while healing. As soon as he's feeling better try to keep him as active and "business as usual" as possible. Kids are resilient and thrive on the comfort of their routines. Keep us posted!

Good luck! Hopefully they give him some of those happy/completely loopy drugs so he doesn't get worked up while waiting.

<HUGS> & prayers, Les! I think any time a kid has to have any type of surgery, it's scary for a parent.

Thank you for all the prayers and good thoughts!! I will post an update after we get home. It will be a big adjustment for Noah. Sponge baths for at least 4 weeks. Having a bath every night is a routine that he looks forward to. Ugh. We shall work it out no matter what. Thank you all again!

Hope he recovers quickly and fully.
My friend had a son that started walking on his toes when he was 2 or 3 from MS.

wow............I had to look up toe walking to see what it was. I've been doing this my whole life when barefoot. I walk fine in shoes though and never had any issues with my tendons, etc. And ironically, my shoes are all more worn at the heel than around the ball/toe end. DGD does it too and like me is walks (rather she runs ) fine when she's wearing shoes.
I'm assuming your son has more issues than I ever developed from the habit if he's having to had surgery. Hope it all works out and he recovers quickly.
