So Adelyn's SMO's came in a week early & she's been wearing them for 5 days now. We started off wearing them 1 hr the first day, 2 hrs the second, etc. By day 7 she will be wearing them full time. They are so much smaller than I thought & she is handling them quite well. We are still going to PT & go on the 10th to see a different Orthopedic just to get a 2nd opinion & have someone who will check up on how she is handling the braces as she wears them. Here are some pics of what they look like so you have an idea. Please pray that they are able to help her as she so badly wants to start walking!
Outside of this, not much else is going on. Hubby & I just found out today that he might be able to get a transfer upstate & we would have to move as early as Sept 15th. We find out for sure on 8/16. If we get it things will move pretty fast from there. I have grown up on Long Island, NY & although I am prepared to move it does not make it easy. My mom lives down here too so that makes it even harder. And if I start thinking of my church I just start to cry. Don't get me wrong I want to move but boy is it overwhelming! But this way we would finally be able to buy our own house!!! And afford more babies!! So there are many good things too.
Hope everyone is doing well. Think of you all often.

Dawn,
So happy you are getting that second opinion! I'm sure the diagnosis is on track, but with such a precious little girl you can't be too agressive :) Besides, I hate how you were treated originally.
Post pictures as soon as she starts "running" ;) Can't wait.
And I will pray for you regarding the move...we just never know our future do we.
BIG HUGS!

Wow they really are small Dawn. I am so happy you are getting the help your little girl needs. I hope and pray that she will be up and walking someday soon.

Dawn, I've missed you and your posts! I've been both lazy and busy but I am so glad that Addy has her shoes now and is being a trooper with wearing them up to full time. They are actually quite cute and stylish! Praying for a steady reversal in the way her feet are growing and that she can soon start to walk (and run!) comfortably. Hope you are doing well as I know how hard a decision it would be to leave your mom (physically) and church. Like you said, good things to come. More pics pls!
