Thanks Monica, I thought that would be the case.

Was your little one bothered by the casts much? My fella has pretty bad reflux issues which really affect his feeding and sleeping still. He is losing weight and barely sleeps. They tell me that babies barely blink an eyelid when they're in casts but my fella seems to be irritated by EVERYTHING. Any little thing and he refuses to feed and won't sleep - I'm so scared his weight will plummet further.

To keep track of his weight I guess I'll have to weigh him before and after the casts are applied so I know the difference and therefore the weight of the casts?

Another random question... he has to have day surgery for an endoscopy under general anesthetic in the next month also. I DID remember to ask if the casts would be a problem then, ie. were there any monitors that go on the feet or anything. I just had the registrar and she said she thought it *should* be ok (i.e. I don't think she knew the answer). Don't suppose you've been through that one?

Sorry for all the random questions... we have so many things going on I'm struggling to keep on top of what is going to affect what else!!
