Yesterday William had his fitting for his leg braces. He chose blue straps and he could chose two characters for each leg brace. But he was stuck on Thomas on both of them. For the fitting, they take a mold of his legs in the cast but then cut it off. So tonight when he got his casts on, he kept telling them to cut them off.
I got myself worked up today stressing over this so I have had a horrible migraine all day.
William chose blue casts. He cried most of the time they put them on. It took two people to put them on. He had to have his feet in the most stretched position and then casted. Basically his toes are pointing up now. He is in some pain but is managing. He keeps telling me to take his "cool boots off because they are too big." The good thing is that they aren't as big as we thought they were going to be. They only go half way up his leg so I hope his braces are like this too. He has to either walk on his heels or can walk flat footed IF he can teach himself to walk in a squatting position. He doesn't have a lot of balance but he is getting used to them. He is not allowed to run or jump in these casts because they can break if he does so that part is going to be hard. Wish us luck!
