Yep, that was her:) Thanks for all the info. I have looked at it and I think

she is just fussy in the brace because she is very, well I guess the best word

is sensitive:) She gets worked up when you just transfer her from one shoulder

to the next! She is in the Dobbs brace with the AFOs. Luckily, she sleeps

great in it! The first night was awful, but then she went right back to

sleeping through the night. We had several issues with the beginnings of

pressure sores, but were able to get the AFOs modified quickly enough that they

never fully developed.

Hi ,

Glad you decided to de-lurk. We were there, I was wearing a purple

sweatshirt and Sammy was walking around, kept going out in the hall.

I'm guessing then that Lilah was that adorable little one I saw in the

room next to us??

If she is still unhappy about the brace, maybe there is something we

can do to help her be more comfortable? She's in the Dobbs brace with

the modified AFO's and articulating bar, right? What does she hate

about it, is she unhappy, crying while wearing it, or just fussing

when you put it on? Does she sleep okay in it? Have you seen the

tips files? There is one specifically for the Dobbs brace which can

be found here:

and the big mother of all tips documents is here:

Let us know if there is anything we can do to help!
