Supergirl shoes!!!

Megan got her custom orthotics today.  They are not currently inserts that go inside shoes, rather they have soles made onto the bottom of them so that they are shoes themselves.  They are open like an insert so you don't want to run around in the dirt in them, but they are designed so they can be worn outdoors too.

Will graciously took off of work today and we all went to the appointments.  He dropped Megan and me off at the front door to the hospital and hung out in the car with Sam.  He parked on the roof of the parking garage and rolled down the windows - he said it was peaceful up there kind of like fishing.

Anyway, her first appointment was with the physical therapist to have her fitting.  They put her orthotics on her and then had her stand in them.  They marked her feet and then trimmed them down to fit her feet.  With them back on her they had her stand again just to watch her in them.  We worked with her for several minutes and then it was time for us to go to see the orthopedist.

Will and Sam came back around and picked us up at the front door.  We all drove over to the other building and Megan and I went in.  The doctor checked out the fit and gave me some things to look out for and sent us on our way.

When we got home I worked with Megan at the table for a little bit, standing and getting into standing.  She really didn't feel well and wasn't up for much so I didn't push it.  However, she was feeling good after her nap so I went for it.  She did so great.  She stood, cruised and got into standing all by herself.   She wouldn't get from her knees onto her feet without me touching her.  In the beginning I had to actually tilt her to get her going but after a few times I just touched her and she would do it after I moved my hand.

I am so happy for her that her horse therapy, and possibly her new supergirl shoes are working so well.
