Leilla has two months to wear these braces and see some improvement in her legs. She is suppose to wear them ALL the time except when sleeping. When we go back in July if there isn't enough improv. then she will have to undergo major surgery on her little legs. We are really hoping we won't have to go "there."
She is doing pretty well so far. I have configured a prize box if she wears her braces all day. I couldn't leave Caden out of course. He gets prizes too if he encourages Leilla when she wears then.
We are pretty bummed that our "normal" has once again been disrupted but am trying to remain positive knowing this could prevent a horrific surgery. The logistics of everyday life gets complicated to say the least since she is unable to bend her knees in these braces. Going to the grocery store( she cant sit in the front part of the cart), going in the car ( have to move the driver's side seat back so she can rest her legs on the shoulders of the seat), she can't ride her bike, have to unstrap the brace to go potty, and the list can go on........
On a positive note I have some cutie pics of us from Huntington beach two weeks ago :)
