Alison will be getting a brace (an articulating AFO) for her right foot. Kevin talked to Dr. Hurvitz about it on Monday and Dr. Craig called us about it today. In light of the conversation Kevin had with Dr. Hurvitz, the conversation I had with Dr. Craig was pretty amusing. Dr. Hurvitz said that he and Dr. Craig had gone back and forth about whether or not to go ahead with the brace and he finally agreed to it (when he saw her in September, Dr Hurvitz had been inclined not to do anything about her foot unless it became a problem as she got older). Dr. Craig implied that it was Dr. Hurvitz who wanted to brace her. At any rate, Dr. Craig's office will be sending us the order so that we can have the casting and stuff done here instead of dragging Alison back to Ann Arbor or Brighton any more than we have to. We will have an appointment with Dr. Craig at the Brighton office after Alison gets her brace but at least it's one less trip. It does not sound like Alison will have to wear the brace all the time, only for an hour a day, at least to start.
