Macie and her new best friend.....

Macie's new best friend has arrived. Macie has to wear a brace on her right foot due to the bones on the top of her foot are shaped like the folowing symbol...) . All of the bones on the top of Macie's right foot are pushed over to the side and look like a closed parenthesis. It has not stopped her from learning to walk seeing that she is a very detrmined and stubborn little one. The brace came on Monday and she isrequired to wear it 23 hours a day. I take it off an hour a day so that she can play on the slide and walk up and down it as she likes to do. She really has been so great about the whole thing and is such a trooper. She took to the brace immediatly and began walking around which, the doctor said she probably would not be able to do. She got right on her toys at Ahma's house like nothing was there. She has however figured out how to take it off so I have to keep a sock over it. Other than that it has been great thus far and I hope that it continue. We go back to the doctor in two months to see her progress.

Her tiny little brace. It is hard plastic on the bottom and up the back of her ankle with velcro closures.

Nothing's gonna keep her down!
