Physical Therapy Consult

Today during Lauren's weekly occupational therapy session a physical therapist came out to evaluate Lauren's feet. There was a little concern about her feet turning out when she walked, like a duck. She has started to walk more even pulling up on things and taking steps away from them on into the middle of the room. The pt was very pleased with her given her extensive medical history. She really looked at her feet very good and decided that at this time she didn't see the need for any orthotic inserts. She put some shoes on her that we had bought from Stride Rite and laced them up very good and had Lauren walk in them. She thinks that for right now those shoes will help in correcting Lauren's feet. She does think that her issue is coming more because she is not very steady and has to widen her base for support. Hopefully in time that will correct itself too. We thank God for another good report.
