Great news

We had Jones' appointment with the Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon on Wednesday for his consultation about his feet/legs. And we received wonderful news...NO BRACES! We were so very, very relieved about this. It would have been fine, of course, if he did have to wear braces on his legs, but the thought still made me a little sad.


His hips and spine are prefect. The reason his feet are turning the way they do is because this particular muscle (I can't remember the name. Not that I would be able to spell it if I did...) is a little bit underdeveloped. So he gave us some simple exercises to strengthen them. That's it! We will go back at a year to see if there is any development.


What a relief.


So in the meantime, little man and I have mini workout sessions throughout the day.


Here is sweet man reading his book waiting on the doctor:



After the appointment, we headed to the park for some fresh air. Precious boy.
Apparently contemplating the book he read earlier...
