Dr. Visit

We received good news at the Dr's office today..We went to see Dr. Mosca at Children's Hospital in Seattle...I have heard wonderful things about him and he was our first choice for Skeet's new ortho doc....He said that they did a good job with the Ponseti method in China and the only thing he needs is a new brace for now......he needs to wear his brace for 12 hours a day-which will be all night and for naps......I am so happy about this, we have been blessed once more..I have been really worried about him possibly needing more casting or having to wear his brace for more than just hours of sleep........because my little guy is a mover and I can't imagine what this would do to him to feel so confined in his waking hours.....we don't have to go back to see him for 3 more months.......good news!!!! They took pictures of his brace from China........the Dr. said the shoes for his brace from China are probably better because the leather is softer but the middle bar is much different and the angle is a little different......plus it was too small for him now...I'm happy about his new brace...you can put the shoes on and then the middle bar.........his ones from China needed to be put on with the bar.......really, really hard to do and instead of laces the shoes had buckles............ VERY tough to put on......so this makes my life MUCH easier............and hopefully his too in the long run............
