Camden has had his new set of braces for a couple of weeks now, I am just slow at posting them. It is great to have nice white ones again. The old ones were getting pretty hashed on but its all worth it. These new ones will look just like the old ones is a month or so. Since we will be getting new braces about every 6 months it will be kind of cool to see how much he grows in such a short amount of time. With the old braces the cable had about as much extra as the new set but by the time we got casted for new ones, we were at the end of the cable. I am just glad to see that he is growing and getting a little bit taller. We might have some luck and he might get some height!! I will try to keep you all updated when he gets his new set of wheels every 6 months. For those of you that wonder, The waist belt and cables down the sides are to help turn his feet out so he doesn't trip himself because he is pigeon toed. He will probably have the cables until he is about 5 or 6 years old. It will depend on when the Orthopedic Surgeons think he is ready and strong enough to undergo the surgery to straighten his legs. So, until then, we will have to live with the cables that help him but get in our way. It is amazing to realize what you would do for someone you love- especially your kids!
