This week I took Alma to see her Doctor at Shriners Hospital in Spokane. We were hoping that he would approve her to start wearing her braces only at night and during naps. For those of you who don't know, this was supposed to have happened in December - but she had to go back into casts instead. Well, the good news was he didn't put her back in casts, but the bad news was he said she needs full time braces for another two months. This was very dissapointing, as Alma hasn't learned to sit up yet and we were hoping that more time out of her braces would help her learn. We are also doing therapy again, twice a day. But, the doctor did say she could have a few hours out of her braces each day instead of only one. I have been taking advantage of this time to put Alma in her Jenny Jump Up, do some exercises with her to help stretch her feet, and of course, to let her play! She loves to roll around with no braces on, she flips her little feet all over the place. I have also taken this opportunity to put these adorable slippers on Alma. They were a gift from my friend MaryLou, and since I think they are the cutest baby slippers I have ever seen, Alma has been wearing them constantly during her shoeless moments.
