Yay! that sounds like you have found the best care provider for your DS! what great news!

FWIW i have friend with a child that has had to have surgery on both feet and is now walking assisted in his boots! this was a kid that they said would never walk, so it is pretty amazing what they can do these days...and what our wee little kids are capable of doing

I'm so, so pleased that you've got a supportive, caring surgeon, and the care plan sounds ideal to me!

fantastic news, isn't it funny, just when you were all gee=ed, up, ready to go into battle for your lad, you didn't need to? ironic.

so glad you have found Excellent Physio and now Excellent Surgeon. Great to hear their positivity and understanding.

bring on the waiting game, only three months to the end of this year (yikes)

Thanks girls

Oh I know Gigi, I chuckled the whole way home thinking how pumped I was for battle lol. So glad I didn't need to though. It's taken me almost 6 months to get those two appointments, so I figure the 3 month wait should be a piece of cake. If it's even 3 months. Who knows. I have to admit the not knowing when it's going to happen part is a bit scary, but when I think about what real fear feels like, I give myself a mental slap and tell myself to harden up. This should be the easy part. DS is such a little trooper these days, I'm confident all will go well.

In other news, he's trying to walk despite his foot! Yesterday on three occasions he let go of me or the lounge and balanced for a few seconds, without falling. AMAZING! I'm so proud of his ability to overcome his limitations. I can't believe how adaptable and clever he is. So so proud of my precious boy right now!
