Back in January we added a new Dr. and created a plan to keep Ayden walking and get his left foot back on track. We started on April 23rd with Botox, then his first cast was put on last Friday. He did very well right up until the end and was fine afterwards. I think it was more about being on his belly than in pain, he has never been a tummy time boy. The best part for him was that mom let him pick the color he wanted so PINK it was ...lol!
Yesterday, we took him to Indy again for a new cast. Justin was smart enough to charge Bub's iPad(which is almost never charged and in Ayden's hands anymore). The iPad was a long lost friend that kept him occupied while they cut off the cast. We had to wait a bit for the orthotics casting/molding, so he got his lefty foot back for a bit.
He did really well for that casting of the mold, and when that was done is was time for cast #2 a bright yellow one.
More importantly, Dr. Carpenter was very impressed with his progress and felt like we should only need two more weeks of casting, YAY! Hopefully, on the 21st we will saw off the last one, and go home with his new brace too.
I have honestly been so worried about handling all of this, but he is doing so well. Super proud of him and thankful for family that has made these trips more fun...see picture below: (Uncle Dana may be spoiling him a bit, while mom gets in some Huxley snuggles too!)
