New Shoes.

HI Friends, I just wanted to update everyone quickly on Aubrey's appointment on Tuesday. At Texas Children's he got a great report on how well he has recovered from his surgery and how AWESOME his feet look. I will post before/after pictures soon. It's just amazing the change. So, then we went off to get him fitted for the new "shoes" he has to wear....and by that point in the day, he was ready for a nap and bottle (which is refused to take.....because he was so tired). So, he screamed through the shoe fitting and had a really difficult time sleeping and eating that night. We basically were up every hour or so. But we've noticed improvement in how he tolerates them already and he slept a little better last night. He's learned to move his feet better which helps his mood. Thank goodness!!! We also are getting some help from Grandma Jacki which is much appreciated and Grandma Debbie went with us to our 2 month checkup. Aubrey did great there and did suprisingly well with his shots. I think that with all of these prior doctors appointments, the shots were not the big of a deal. :-) I will post pictures soon of his feet and shoes. We continue to be thankful at how well he's responded to treatments and the help Texas Children's has offered us.

Yea Aubrey! I can't wait to see the pictures....
I'm sure it's been so hard watching him struggle through this, the good thing is, he won't remember any of it. He'll have you and Jody to thank when he is bigger and playing football with the best of them! Hope to see you soon!
