Have any of your kiddos had these? They are made by Cascade and the first step in orthodics... They are not totally hard, but firm enough to get Meg's feet to put the weight in the right place.

Speaking of the little "angel" she had A-TTTTTT-IIIIIII-TTTTTTTTUUUUDDDDEEEEEEEEE today. She had a screaming, buck her head around fit for Sue the PT. All Sue wanted was to see Megs stand. What a twerp.

We had an insert (only hemi side though) that sounds like this for a couple of years. They did an imprint of Becca's foot I remember. I liked it much better than a DAFO.

Now she has nothing, but we are seeing her hemi leg turn in more lately so I think that may change soon. I hope we are able to just get away with an insert and will make a note of the name you mentioned.

Hope it works for your little spitfire!

Hugs,
Kathleen

If the HotDogs we ordered don't work, we'll be getting the PattiBobs... if we have to do more than that, we'll talk then. But hopefully this gives her what she needs to get going.

I hope the HotDogs work for Meg's. Brandon never used any shoe inserts because he has always needed more intervention in the form of full-blown AFO's that stop below his knee.
