Addy had another set of clinic appointments at Vandy yesterday; she got great reports from all the doctors and therapists that she saw this time. We didn't end up going to the zoo like we had thought about doing--there just wasn't enough time in the morning to get a good visit with the animals and get everyone lunch and get all the diapers changed and get back across town in time for the appointments. We'll just have to do that next time.
The big thing we wanted to make sure to ask about at this clinic visit was to see if the orthopedist thought that AFOs (ankle foot orthotics, a.k.a., ankle braces) would be a good idea. We ended up with not just a prescription for the AFOs, but actually got the casts made while we were there. They should be ready in a couple of weeks--yay! They should help keep Addy's legs extra stable while she's in her stander, which will help make sure she has good posture and develops the strength in both her legs.
AND we got the big, tall wheels for the stander last night, too. Addy is still figuring them out, but she'll be a pro in no time.
