Easy as 1-2-3

In what is absolutely no surprise, Olivers braces have started rubbing at the skin on his feet. Our vigilence about watching for signs of wear on his skin was short-lived considering it took only 3 days for the breakdown to start. On Saturday, his physical therapist told us that we had to keep the braces off, since wounds on the foot are slower to heal. So he has been braceless since Saturday (again -- very aggravating since this totally works against the effects of the surgery). I did my customary Monday morning thing of calling (insert doctor here -- sometimes a pediatrician, sometimes ortho, but you get the idea), and was told to call the brace shop. So I did, and you'll never believe this, but that have a local office only 10 MINUTES AWAY that I can go to. I almost wet myself I was so excited. I had no idea when I was going to fit in a trip to Philly this week, and now, I don't have to. Aaahhh....
