This week the girls went to a new doctor. They had an appointment with the orthopedic at Kennedy Kreiger. Liz will be getting an orthotic for her leg. The orthotic is called an APO. It will help to keep her foot flat because when she stands she points her toes on her left side due to her CP. She will also continue to wear her hand brace. The doctor also ordered a hip X-ray. He said people with CP have an increased risk of their hip popping out of socket. Her hip looks great now, but they wanted a baseline for the future. She will get another X-ray of her hip in 6 months. I am taking Liz on Friday to get fitted for her orthotic so more pictures to come. Abigail looked great. The doctor was impressed that she can grab things with her feet and can bring it up to her hands. Silly girl! She has monkey feet!
This brings our doctor total to...8 doctors.
An on a side note the girls RSV vaccine is in so they will be getting that this week. :)
