Guess whaaaaat? ? We’re back, and wearing the old brace. I am so over this. So, here we are. No pictures from today’s visit either. Cammie did a LOT of time consuming work adjusting Amy’s brace. I means that Amy had loads of time to play on, and kill, my Read more…
Here we are again… Good Lord this is making me crazy! Amy ended up back in her old brace again, the new one was hurting her too much. No pictures today though, it was a quickie! She ran up and down the hall, and her foot isn’t turning out at Read more…
Delivery day! Found out what the delay was. Apparently, the brace arrived on time, but Cammie took one look at it and knew we wouldn’t accept it. So she took the initiative to refuse it, and saved up the trip. Feels great to have someone who’s got my back. Anyways, Read more…
Guess we won’t be getting Amy’s brace tomorrow after all. ? There’s been a delay. TWO MORE WEEKS?! Ugh!!! New brace delivery date is Aug. 9th. Hopefully we won’t have any issues adjusting.
Hoffinger called today. Unsurprisingly, he’s not okay with Amy’s brace. So, back to the old one for now. On the positive side, Cammie has already called and discussed things with Hanger. We will have our new one in 2 weeks, Jul. 31st. Just in time for school! Thank goodness!
So, home from our appointment. Amy is measuring at a size 11.5 (left) and a size 12 (right). That’s pretty close! How about that? So we hopped onto the Nordstrom’s site to get some Billy Shoes. Guess what? They have, like, nothing. But she really, really, REALLY wants them. So Read more…
Okay! Today was the day! Brace Delivery! (FINALLY!) I mean it’s been a month since we originally molded. Yikes! Let’s do this! This brace is really different, not only because it has a hinge, but because it has 3 pieces. The AFO, the front shell, and also a boot (with Read more…
So, life has been a little crazy lately. We moved into a new home, and it is a bi-level home with stairs. (STAIRS!) That was a little scary for me, but Amy seems to have taken to it quite well. A couple days after Amy had her mold taken for Read more…
Giant. Ball. Of. Emotion. Today was a visit like any other. I had hoped for good news, but I was prepared for Dr. Hoffinger to tell me nothing had changed. I had hoped that he would give us clearance for a hinge, and I wanted to talk about limitations in Read more…
This will be short and sweet. Amy graduated today, and I just want to very quickly celebrate this year. She had some major challenges, like getting stuck in a wheelchair for a couple months. But, for the most part, she ran, she played, and did everything the other kids did. Read more…
