We've been really busy with lots of doctors appts and things lately. Hannah got her wheelchair in time for Disney. They have to do some modifications to it but overall its pretty good. She seems to tolerate it pretty well. She is getting her AFOs (ankle foot orthotics) to help her with her balance and toe curling on Tuesday. I'm sure she will take some time getting used to them, but I know they are supposed to help. We saw her orthopedist for the first time yesterday. He is really nice and has good bedside manor. He said that he is not concerned about her neck turn, he said that it is either a reflex that she hasn't out grown yet, or it is tied to her reflux. He said it could be a combination of both. Her PT is concerned that Hannah is "frog-legging" and that something may be wrong with her hips, but he said that they actually like to see that because it is a defense mechanism to prevent dislocating her hips. He did take xrays just to be sure. He said that her heel cords are really tight, but that the AFOs and being in the stander will help with that. So over all good visit. Only bad note is that Hannah has a double ear infection which is not good. Hopefully she will be all better in time for Disney. Thank you for all your prayers and concern. I can't believe that Hannah will be 2 yrs old next week.
