GOOD NEWS!! Update on Elijah!!

[Guest guest]

Today we got the 2nd 3wk cast off (after the 2nd tenotomy on the

same foot) and his foot looks wonderful. Dr Kelleher was very

pleased with his range of motion and his skin looked beautiful

underneath... just a little flaking but no irritation at all.

So after 6 months of casts and an unsuccessful run w/ the shoes a

few months ago, we're back in the shoes and he's not kicked them off

in the last 7 hours!!!! THIS is an accomplishment compared to last

time when he could kick them off right after I put them on!

I.AM.SO.STOKED!!!

Hes not crawling yet but hes scooting around like crazy. The shoes

and the fact that he cant really move his legs independently doesnt

slow him down one bit!

I'll be posting before and after pics on the CFPics site!
