fall is here

Olivia has been doing great lately, sleeping better at night, although her nose is starting to run again... but she is continuing to go potty for us a couple times a day and talks our ear off most of the morning and evening :) She is starting to put words together, like "ow, that hurt mommy" or "no, decter (dexter), no". We took her back to va prosthetics last week and they say her new foot brace fits good and is doing what it is supposed to as far as making her walk a certain way. She just needs to get used to wearing it. It's just funny cause her therapists don't think the brace should make her gate pattern look worse or turn her foot in MORE than it looks like she does WITHOUT the brace! But we have dr. brown's appointment next friday so we'll see what he says about it, too. He's who ordered it. I am meeting Coreen, Liv's new physical therapist, at her daycare Thursday morning for her session, too. She'll be seeing Liv once a month, like Heather did. And we see Dr. Kerkering, a pediatric neurodevelopmental doctor, on Oct 14 th I believe, to get her take on any delays Olivia may have. I'm seriously thinking about making an appointment with a new pediatric orthopedic doctor, per the suggestion of a couple of her therapists.

Update on Bri's foot--he goes Thursday to get his 2nd cast taken off. It should be healed completely this time. (GOD WILLING!!!) He will be sooooo glad to get this cast off for good! And I dared him to touch his callous again :) LOL
