Today we went to orthodics and they delivered Elijah's AFOs! This is his first pair. He was wearing the SMOs but the physical therapist wanted him to have more support so maybe he won't crouch down as much. Elijah picked the construction pattern! So cute! Of course I picked the wrong socks. The Dr. said that he prefers the kind that come under the knee and that don't have a heel. Sometimes the heel can come up too high and bunch up in the brace. The braces were quite a bit bigger then his old ones so we got to go shoe shopping!!! We always go to Stride Rite because they have extra wide shoes that Velcro. He ended up getting 2x wide! We got them just in time for baseball season (which starts this weekend). And they will even match his uniform!
While we were there they also took measurements for Elijah's hip brace that he will be wearing at night. He was too sore still to take a mold so hopefully the measurements will be enough to make a good brace. We should get it early next week. That one will have space aliens!
