This morning we headed to get BOTH boys fitted for orthotics after a check-up with their orthopedic surgeon on Monday. Nathan is growing out of his current orthotics and needs new ones with an added mechanism to allow us to stretch his Achilles tendon. Andrew also needs his Achilles tendon and heal cord stretched to help prevent his "toe walking." So, he is getting custom orthotics as well to help with this task.
Once we get these new orthotics, it's going to be a rough transition getting both of the boys to tolerate wearing them. It will be a rough few days and then hopefully it will just be another part of our every day routine :)
And then later this afternoon, Nathan was fitted for a therapeutic bike - yea!! We are praying that Variety Club gets the necessary funding in order to provide all of the kiddos this year with adaptive bikes that need them. It's a wonderful project that is supported by so many and provides endless benefits for children who otherwise could not move on their own. Project Mobility is where the bikes come from - check out this AWESOME organization - www.projectmobility.org
