high calf jumpstart ankle-foot orthoses Current mood:curious how owen will do
Tomorow we go and get Owen fitted for high calf jump start ankle foot orthoses for both feet/legs. His PT said they havent used them on anyone as small as him (our PT place that is) but they can only do good. So i am hoping it helps correct his feet as they are starting to correct some on their own and after mths of PT and stretches throughout the day. In case you dont know his feet turn inwards and dont sit on the bottoms when standing but on his sides so basically his feet bottoms are always facing eachother instead of downwards. he also has tibial contorsion (curved tibia bone) so we are hoping it will help correct that as well! heres to praying......wish us luck.....and wish me luck as Sean just left for a mth and a half and so i will be stuck with a very unhappy 20 mth old how wont want to wear his braces. ;)i dont htink we will ge tthe braces tomorow but will get fitted...ithink. ill update you all afterwards! *****UPDATE*****so we went and got fitted to make sure they sized them right (needless to say they did NOT). We got ot take them home anyways to let him use them but the orthotic dr wasnt sur ehe liked the way they fit. so we have to ask Owens PT if she likes them and if not then we will get custom one so we will have to go back AGAIN to pick those up. all these trips....it was supposed to be a 2 time deal and now it’ll be more. oh well, itll be worth it. he threw a fit while i was putting them on...took me 15 mins to get him to sit still and to put them on right. then 2 mins later he got one off.LOL. I couldnt go and decorate these as we are getting different ones and have to return these so i bought some ubber cute leggings. so he had the leggings, 2 braces, padding and then the slipper shoe on...THATS why it took me 15 mins.LOL. Anyways, i thought he’d throw a fit when he tried to crawl and he didnt. so then i though "OK. wait until he tries to stand and cant since he cant roll his ankles int he braces" so he crawled over to the entertainment center, put his foot down flat and stood up! It wa slike he could read my thoughts and wanted to prove me wrong. he never ceases to amaze me! I posted pics in their own album.1/30/09:2nd day of wearing them and he keeps getting one of them off. GGRR!!!LOL.
