Okay, our precious Evan needs your prayers this week! On Friday, we will be visiting an orthopedic specialist. Evan began walking when he was around 10 months old. I noticed he was pretty pidgin toed but figured he would grow out of it soon. Well he has not and to make matters worse, I noticed that he was dragging the tops of his feet. If I was not in the field I am in, I probably would have just blown this off. So, I asked one of the Occupational therapists I work with, if I should be too concerned. She said it sounded concerning to her so I decided to contact one of my Physical therapist friends. She watched Evan walk and said that at least half the time, he was dragging his right foot. She also tried to measure his leg lengths and was pretty sure his left leg was measuring a little shorter. She also notes that Evan stands in a way that he puts most of his weight on one foot. She recommended that we go see an orthopedic specialist to get a full evaluation. We go on Friday. Worst case for us will be that Evan will
Be required to wear some type of braces and or insert in his shoes. Best case, will be that everything is okay. I will keep everyone updated but in the meantime I just ask that you pray for our sweet baby! Thanks!
Evan is precious in HIS sight and no matter what the problem is...Evan is in good hands! We pray that you feel God's arms around you all! Keep us posted. We love you! S and J
