This morning after breakfast Megan had her appointment to get fitted for her new orthotics. Megan has always been great at appointments, even when we had to sit around for a while or when she had casts put on her legs for her current orthotic fitting. Well, today she didn't do so great. She was fine until the guy needed to start measuring her feet. She even walked to him and climbed into his lap while we were talking.
I didn't realize she wouldn't have to be casted today so I was happy when I found out they were just gong to take measurements. Megan, on the other hand, acted like she was having her ears cleaned again. She freaked out and kept yanking her feet away from him, she was trying to turnaround and crawl up me to get away from him. No amount of comforting her was working so we just had to go with it. He wasn't hurting her. At one point she went from trying to get away to trying to kick him in the head. On the outside I said "Megan don't kick him" on the inside I was thinking "good job little miss, if you think you are in danger use what resources you have".
Her new orthotics are a step back in support level. These have more flexibility to them and allow her to use her toes to help with stability because they stop before her toes. I am happy that we are moving in this direction, closer to nothing at all. Also, since they are made from measurements they are computerized and therefore ready in 2 weeks instead of 6. Yay!
This afternoon Megan had her in home PT session and she worked so hard again today. She works so hard that her little legs start shaking by the end of the session. She recovers quickly and wants to walk/cruise everywhere within minutes of her PT leaving. When I told Betsy which inserts Megan was getting this time she was excited because they will help Megan get ready to start walking.
