My daughter should have had the brace when she was little but that never happened when she was with her birth parents so now that she is growing badly we are having a lot of issues and possibly facing surgery with in a couple of years (hopefully her second skin suit and AFO's (ankle-foot orthotics) will delay surgery or prevent it altogether, but unlikely).
So no matter how tough things get it is a lot better for both bubs and the family to go through the braces now as opposed to surgery and pain latter on. Your bubs wont remember the brace in a few years but if they have to have surgery they will have scares for life.


Good luck to you and bubs.
