Re: An odd coinsidence?

Christee,

I too was under the impression that MA was usually outgrown by now,

and weird that no one has ever diagnosed it until now. I guess it

would not be a bad idea to have him looked at by your local Ortho, or

Dr. Mosca if you are planning to take Lilee there anyway. I could see

them maybe prescribing a FAB for night time wear only, but I don't

really know.

suggested an arch support which my insurance will not cover. Ok, this

is fine I will dish the $ out if it helps him be less clumsy. Heres

the odd/funny part. I had my daughter in there with me. P/M 22/7. He

kinda knew her story. He says that Aspen has bilateral Metatarsus

Adductus. along with everything else. He said is was minor, but odd to

still have it at an older age. I am now paranoid that he might need

correction for this! He is 5 1/2yrs old, 99lbs. I thought they grew

out of this before 3yrs old. Any suggestions?
