Is this a disability?
Short answer, yes. In the UK, your baby, once fitted with a spica cast is entitled to a blue badge. I know it seems upsetting that your baby is classed as disabled, but you will be thankful for it when going out to busy places. You need the wider parking spaces to be able to get your baby in and out of the car. Don't be daunted by it! Apply for the blue badge and make your life easier.
Does the spica cast always work?
Unfortunately for Evie, the spica cast did not work. We were told from the start that it was always a possibility that it might not work but never did we think that Evie would fall into that category. Ask every question you have to the medical professional and they will be able to inform you more on your child's chances of success
