their first test case with it. Not that her being 2 and nicely corrected

with big feet will tell them a whole heck of a lot about how little babes

will do with it... but at least they're going to see it and all it's

wonders. The orthotist I talked to sounded pretty jacked about seeing the

process and wanted to be there when she's fitted for it. They want to do

it themselves, so they're going to either send the impressions I have

already done or do another set and send it to themselves. That way

they just take care of it. So, we have an appointment next Tuesday to see

our regular orthotist and this other one who researched it and talked to

Dr. Sussman about it for approval. I feel pretty stupid for sitting here

so many weeks not doing anything about Dr. Sussman telling me they couldn't

do it... Goes to show that a little bit of effort, and more effort if the

first try doesn't prove fruitful sure does the trick.

I would have pushed for a sooner appointment but since they were being so

great about it, and that other orthotist wanted to be there I let them

schedule us a week out since that's when they both had a time slot. I

figure, the easier I am to deal with, the better they will receive doing

this for the first time.

In the interim, Darbi's bar is too short and they don't have any bigger

bars there to give her. She's been doing some night waking saying *ow* and

acting like she's got leg cramps (I have to take it off, massage her legs

and she goes back to sleep, I then put it back on when I crawl into bed

with her) so I am pretty certain the bar being about a half inch on both

sides too short is the culprit. Their fix for it is going to be cutting

her bar in half and riveting a piece of metal to it to make it

longer. Which I am not too keen on. So I'm going to drop off her

adjustable bar at a friend's shop to see if he can weld it

instead. Problem is, he says if it's cast aluminum he can't weld it... so

we'll see. She has to wear what she's got probably for another month or so

while her new shoes get made. And it may take longer because she's going

to be the biggest feet has made shoes for so far so he has to make a

whole new insole mold in the bigger size.

At any rate, this is great news for Portland CF babies and I am hoping it

finally pushes them to start using the FAB again here. I can only hope.

YAY!!!!! Congratulations and good job! Hopefully this will make it

easier for other parents to get the p/m fab in the future. (Maybe

even me!) I bet you're excited to see the shoes, too.

We'll see - I may have to head down there myself if my plan doesn't

work out up here.

Actually it would be a fun little trip (aside from the drive with

two babies and no air conditioning) and I would love to meet you and

your daughter (Darbi and I share a name of such greatness!)
