my new shoes


The other day we had to take Riley up to PCMC to get his feet casted. His tendons are so tight that he can't straighten his feet out. It will probably take 2 or 3 castings to get the needed results. He wears them for 2 weeks and then they take them off and then reposition and cast again. Other alternatives are that they can inject botox but that paralyzes the muscle and I'm not sure we want to do that because he'll lose what every muscle strength he has. We'll do the casting for now and see what happens.

Oh, hope this works for him so he doesn't have to get botox!

Look at those cute green cast's. Are they heavy? It sucks he has to wear them but hopefully it fixes the problem. Brynlee's knees are starting to tighten up so we might be there with ya soon.
