Digging Out

I finally ventured out with the kids today.  Waverly had a doctor appointment this morning with physical medicine.  Navigating the huge piles of snow, with 2 kids who have zero understanding of ice/slipping is not easy.  Oliver fell twice and Waverly's shoes & pants were covered in snow by the time we made it to the car.  Whew!!  I really need to get them snow boots.

Wavey's appointment went well.  She had her hip x-rayed and there were no changes.  This was very good news, because the PT was worried her hip was causing her trouble and possibly pain.  We did not want to start having hip problems already.  Her walking is still relatively good, albeit unstable.  She needs to get new AFOs (orthotics) and I already made an appointment to have them cast in March.  We were also given a prescription for a wheelchair.  Wavey is too big for her MacLaren special needs stroller.  And Oliver is about ready to move into it.  We need to get her something bigger.  I will begin the process of dealing with the medical equipment folks to get this approved by insurance.  Hopefully we will have it by summer.
