Requested Pics - Taping & Chip Bags

I mentioned this blog on the listserv for children with LE and had a few picture requests. We're headed out of town this week/end for a family medical thing, not LE related, so I'm trying to get these up before we go.

Here's a close-up of how we're taping J's toes:

Yes, that is four separate pieces of kinesio tape on each toe. Each piece is anchored on the side, where the drainage canals (my word) are and pulled to the midline of the toe (to pull fluid from front to side).

Below are our 'chip bags'. Ours are homemade, a small piece of stockinette filled with small pieces of different weight foams and taped at each end to hold it all together:


The rest of the pics are just a few shots of J's taping. Sorry no more detail but we're in a hurry today! Email or comment if you have any questions.


Oh, yea. These were all taken this morning. I just realized the year is wrong on the camera.
