Groundhog day...or what some were calling it. Snow-stradomaus....

Eventful day. Relaxing drive there and back with many interesting sights to see. (SB Clinic Appointment was a couple of hours away).   A few ditched cars, a couple of fender benders, a few slip-n-slides, and 0 visibility make for a wonderful trip! 

Emmett's ultrasound was ok. Nothing has changed with his bladder or kidneys for better or worse (which is good). He saw Ortho, Physio, and Orthotics all at the same time, all three were snapping shots of his excellent walking skills. He has done what ALL of them thought he NEVER would do.

He will be getting a long Knee Ankle Orthosis for his left leg and clubbed foot, and he will getting a short AFO for his right foot for support. He no longer needs the stander.  He has two walkers on loan from physio, one forward facing which he has been using all along, and the other supports him from behind (he took to this one immediately). We will be needing to purchase one in the future ($500-600). Going to see if SBHAof NS has some equipment.

 On March 2nd we will be returning to the Rehab for final fitting of his orthotics, and to visit Remedial Seating for consult on a wheelchair! We're so proud of him.  That's all for now.
