AFOs

Natalie has had her AFOs for about a week now, and were having a hard time keeping them on her feet. They fit her really well & we have bought shoes that fit snug over them to give even more support but, when she scoots around on the floor her legs kinda drag a little bit and they end up just sliding off after she scoots a few feet. The shoes she has to wear with them make her feet seem so big that she has a hard time controling her legs when she is wearing them too! Its like watching her try to crawl around in flippers or something... She doesnt jump when she stands as much though & I can deffinatly see a difference in her stance when shes actaully on her feet. Its the crawling around thats the problem, and since its her only way to get places right now, its been very difficult to keep the AFOs on.

She seems pretty tolerant of them being on her though, shes always been a pretty patient kid. Anyway, here are a few pictures of the AFOs & her wearing them.
