Feet Update

Sorry no picture, I haven't put the new ones on my computer.

Maddy had her ortho appointment last week. Her feet looked good, and Maddy only has to wear her shoes for 12 hours a day. (We were doing 16 hours.) I expressed concern about Maddy's left foot, it tends to turn when she is out of the shoes. Also when we hold Maddy in a standing position or she is in her ExerSaucer, she has a tendency to stand on the sides of her feet instead of the bottoms. Autumn (P.A.) said there is a possibility that Maddy will need another surgery, but we will not know until she is actively walking. This surgery requires general anesthia. A tendon on the top of the foot would be moved to the other side of the top of the foot. It requires two incisions. Both feet may need the surgery because the right foot does it also, but not as bad. Maddy has her next appointment in November.
