Good News!

Well, the orthotics man, Hank, said we should be able to get another 2-3 months out of LO's braces/AFO's! (Unless she grows out of them quicker, but she has little feet so maybe not.) Yay!! He took part of the one that isn't fitting good and is changing the velcro to a bigger piece and UPSing it back to us hopefully by tomorrow or Thursday. He thinks that will help it fit better on her foot.

So with that good news, we continue to move forward! Therapy and PT evaluation today. (Evaluations are every four weeks by the actual physical therapist. The PT assistant comes twice a week.)

Lisa 42, DH 38, DD 2 - 32 wk preemie, diagnosed with CP at 2 1/2.
