Charlotte's Braces



Charlotte needs braces for her legs. They only are around her feet and ankles to provide support and also to correct the way she walks. If we don't use them, eventually she will end up with deformed feet and ankles because of the position she walks on them. It is really hard to see her use them but she loves them. She thinks they're shoes and that she gets to wear two pairs! She went from a size 3 to a size 6 shoe. So of course, have to buy new shoes. Only bought two pairs so far but I'm sure that will change cause she loves shoes! haha. She hasn't had a problem wearing them, like I said. The dr. said that she needs to ease into it but she's been wearing them all waking hours (minus the bathtime, etc.) which is what she's supposed to do. I'm so proud of her even though it is hard sometimes. She's such a trooper.
