Reapplying foot casts after surgery. Part 4 of 4
Finally trim to make the cast walking casts. Unfortunately about two hours after we got home her right foot was ice cold (the red one). We noticed the cast were tight at the hospital and we even pointed it out. At 5:48 you will notice that they did the Capillary refill on her foot and the blood did not return for at least 5 sec. Which means there is not proper blood flow to the foot and the cast were too tight. Needless to say we had to return to the Emergency department after we got home to get the cast cut for better blood flow. But of course Im just a mom and anything I say is not valid. They are apparently “trained” and they know everything. I often feel like I have to pussyfoot around them to make sure not to hurt their feelings so my daughter gets the care she deserves.
