casts

The boy finally got casted for his little pointing feet.  He had a small surgery Tuesday to lengthen the heel cord tendon so that they could move his toes from a pointed position to a flat foot.  They then put casts on him that will stay on for 3 weeks while they make AFO's (ankle/foot orthotics).


 As you can see though, he isn't really bothered by them.  He doesn't fit great in his chair, but for short times it is ok, and he is not as mobile on the floor. It hasn't bothered him too much.  He has just been using his voice more to demand what he wants....

I think the rest of us are more annoyed with them than him.  Most importantly though, his feet will be flat.  He will be able to wear shoes, and who knows, maybe someday he will be standing tall on those two flat feet!  One thing is for sure though, whether he stands or not, he will have on cute shoes!

Happy weekend everyone!
