Free Mod-Quad Girls Clothing
Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2003 9:34 pm
Hi everyone,
When my daughter had her last mod-quad surgery at age 7, my mother-in-law took some regular clothing and modified them by cutting down the entire seam on the affected, splinted side and attached hidden velcro so that the garment could be almost literally velcroed on and it looked as though it was fitted for her rather than so baggy under the splint, etc. This also helped so much with dressing, and she even wore some of the clothing afterwards in the beginning when her arm was still sore.
I would love to give this clothing to someone who could use it. She also made a wool winter cape that specially fitted the splint and kept her warm in the winter. Other items include four long sleeve light-weight shirts, a couple of sweatshirts, and four solid white short sleeve shirts with zippered vests to wear over them if it was colder outside. It is not a tremendous amount of clothing (and of course it is used), but it was plenty for my daughter for the time the splint was on.
If anyone is interested, please let me know. I will just send them on to the first person interested. My email address is: wstorms@comcast.net.
Best wishes to all....Wendy
