AFO's

This morning we went and picked up Nathan's AFO's. They are his jungle legs as they have prints of jungle animals on them. The orthotists took before and after pic's of his feet with/without the AFO's as he was saying there is so much difference. He is hopeful that Nathan won't have to have these ones for too long (6 months or a bit more) and then he can have shorter, ankle length ones. He is pretty sure he will always need some kind of additional support for his feet/ankles sue to his low tone.

Nathan was very good when we put them on him. We cheered a lot and he had a big smile. We'll see how we go over the next few weeks. Orthotist would like us to work up to 8 hours a day. Just have to keep an eye out for any red patches that don't clear after 30 min or so, any blistering or callouses that may form. If this happens we go back for some adjustments to be made.

Just need to go shoe shopping for shoes to fit.
