Happy Fall!

Our Shriner's Check up.

For the past little while Brock has been complaining that putting on his brace at night hurts his foot. I've let him go without it a few times just to calm him down but mostly I ease him into his brace by massaging his feet really well.  And after that he puts them on and sleeps just fine. 

We  had our check up at Shriner's today.

Our doctor said his feet looked AMAZING! I talked to him a bit about Brock's complaints. He watched Brock walk up and down the hall a few times, jump up and down a few times, and did a few stretches with him. Reviewed his age and said that we could discontinue the brace.  I am pretty excited about that. Since we returned from our summer trip to Utah, Nicholas has been sharing a bed with Brock and I go in there at least 3 times a night just to make sure Brock isn't smackin Nicholas with his crazy twisting and turning.   He still twists and turns alot but at least his deadly weapon isn't attached anymore. I will continue with some stretching exersices and we'll return to Shriner's again in 6 months for another check on Brock's feet.  Just a reminder of what his feet looked like on day one:

Can't believe how far he's come.
