Skyla got to see Shelly for some much need PT. Shelly also measured Sky's dorsiflexion, and found that with her knee bent Sky has FULL RANGE!!! Yep that's right she is doing that good. With her knees straight she still has about 5-8 degrees to go but is getting there at a amazing rate.
Shelly also said Sky no longer needs her leg braces!!! She now has these plastic shoe insoles that slip in to her shoes. It makes it really hard for her to go on her toes and if she breaks them then we know she was walking on her toes again.
Walking on her toes is still a big habit we are trying to break. If she is in tie shoes she walks flat but on , bare feet or flip flops she pops up on her toes. Luckily she isn't doing it to often that its causing problems.
Not out of the woods yet but at least the end is finally in site. I knew it would take about 6 months and now that we are heading in to our 7th month its nice to get some good news. Sky gets to go back to PT with Shelly in 2 weeks and we are just really going to work her out. She is one step closer to those Twinkle Toes shoes :)
