Close, but no....

We were so very close to getting to come home cast free, but in the end the surgeon felt that Lauren needed another 4 weeks in casts.  I was obviously disappointed she'd have to be put back in, but was completely OK and trusted his decision.  It's really for her benefit and is best for the long term.

I was really happy though when I learned that the casts would just be to below her knees.  They are cute, they look like little boots:)  Anyway, Lauren is doing great and we will head back in beginning of May to get her AFOs fitted in a shoe.  We were able to take the AFOs home with us to go shopping for shoes that will fit around them.

Now this is going to be interesting, because her left foot is larger, so we may end up always having to purchase 2 pairs of same shoe.  Silly, really.  Let's just hope the shoe fetish passes by this little one...

Anyway, here is a video of her day at doctor getting her feet checked out...
