Serial casting

Alex is going to start a new treatment plan for his toe walking -- serial casting. He will be put in a cast below the knee on each leg that stretches the tendons for 2 weeks. Then a new cast for 2 more weeks. Then he should be done.

If he stretches each day and tolerates the casts, he should be able to avoid surgery.

Cast #1 goes on March 14th. Cast #2 comes of April 11th. He should be cast free for 1st communion!
