Alison got her twister cables today. To say that she was unhappy with them would be a bit of an understatement, but she's getting used to them. When we first got them on her, she walked around like a little old lady, shuffling her feet a few inches at a time. By the time we left the office, she was taking more normal steps. She even ran a couple of steps before lunch. They really seem to be doing the trick, though. For the first time ever, her feet are straight when she walks. Whether they will have a lasting effect will remain to be seen. They are not the most attractive things out there, and even though she could wear them under her pants, I think we're just going to leave them on the outside. The pelvic band is pretty bulky and since toddler clothes don't come in slim, regular, and husky, I don't think many of her pants will fit over it! On Monday we have our IEP meeting to discuss physical therapy and hopefully Alison will be starting it soon after that.
