FEET AND TOES

 

Having never walked Robbie's toes slightly overlap, feet stunted and puffy in appearance; and very small toe nails. His feet feel like they are splitting if he puts any pressure on them. He has nail rot in the big toes that is being treated successfully with Tiger Balm.

 

 

 

 Both feet point outward and are generally strapped together with a soft towel so they do not 'wander'. The position of his feet also make sleeping in a bed very uncomfortable and painful as they are fixed and dig into any mattress.

 

His form of cerebral palsy makes his skin super sensitive and when Robbie's feet are touched they jump violently or go into a clonis attack. Usually his feet are cleaned with Sorbolene cream and let the skin (yellow areas) fall off of it's own accord or scrap it off when soft enough (with lots of 'Ouching!!!' from Robbie).
