When Lilah's Pt, Laura, discussed orthotics for Lilah....I must admit... I was skeptical. I have followed other special needs blogs where there are descriptions of HATE toward them.
I told Laura that I was willing to do ANYTHING to help Lilah.
About 3 weeks ago Lilah was fitted for AFO orthotics. When I walked into Savannah Orthotics I thought, "I know that name."
Lilah's Orthotist is a friend of ours and member of our church. (THAT was a God thing, I believe!)
While Lee casted Lilah's legs she sat perfectly still and actually giggled at him a few times.
Lilah's orthotics came in Friday and I will tell the truth...
I LOVE them!
What I love about them is not the hearts, the cute pattern, the bright colors or the way it makes her tiny feet look bigger. I LOVE what they DO for her!
Check out the confidence in standing!
I am so impressed by how well she has done.
She doesn't fight me to put them on. Its almost as if she KNOWS that they help her and she likes them. I put them on her Saturday morning and she pushed my hand away and stood, hands free, against the wall.
I am, once again, in AWE of how amazing Lilah is.

Hi Katie,
Nice to meet you! I came over on Dr. Boucher's suggestion. I have a six yr old daughter, Faith, with CP. Your daughter is beautiful and I am thrilled to get to know you both!
