Vinnys New AFOs

This past Monday Vinny received his AFOs (braces).   The reason behind this is to train his feet to relax and straighten out a bit.  He tends to scrunch his toes and feet upwards and to the side.  Hopefully these braces will help.  After spending a few days wearing them, I am really not too sure of this idea.  I just don't see how it is going to work.  But we will give it a try and see where we end up.

  1. Cute family Gina! As for the braces, I hope its comfortable for the lil guy. I read about the cast and had awful flashbacks of when I shattered my foot and took a skillsaw and cut it off 3 times and the DR. put a pink cast on me.:(
    Have a good day!

  2. Dylie does the same thin with her feet. We need to get serious about it and talk to the ortho at her next Spina Bifida Clinic. Does he mind them? They look super cute... =)
