Dr. Dabrowski appointment

Dr. Dabrowski is her physical medicine doctor and he is amazing, we love him. He prescribes her braces and PT, OT and ST and anything else we can think of. He can tell how she is doing by just watching her walk. We had our appt. on Monday, March 11, 2013. He noticed right away how tall she is and that she will need new braces for her legs. Her sway in her back is better which means her torso is getting stronger and she doesn't have to stick out her belly as much to balance etc. Her feet and legs seemed really tight and he wants us to do stretches with her. He recommends doing them after a warm bath for up to an hour at a 20 count each leg rotating...if that makes sense?! He also thinks the hot tub will be beneficial to her muscles so we will reduce the temp on that a little and get her in that as soon as it warms up a little. We have her casting for new braces on Thursday. We also noticed her right leg and foot are turning in more than they should be so we will be getting a wrap for that. It will help turn it out the other direction towards the way it is supposed to be. We will also be getting a hip x-ray done to make sure everything is developing the way it should be. So all in all..not the great news like we usually hear but not bad either..we always know it could be worse!
