Wyatt's New Brace

Wyatt just sat there when she made his cast. From that they made his brace. I can't get over this little man. He just lets the doctors, therapists whoever do what ever they need to do. It's unreal. He really is super special. He's trying to hide from me. I was trying to get a picture of his brace. Silly boy
This is what it looks like from the front. I found sandals that will work for the brace. He has to wear the sock so his foot and leg won't sweat.
There is the back of it
One of Wyatt's many doctors finally decided that it was time for him to get a brace on his right foot. Wyatt falls a lot cause he can't pick up his right foot high enough to clear his toe & his right foot is turned in. So in May I took him into Twin. They made a cast for the brace. It took about two and half weeks to get it back. I picked out cars for his brace cause that is his favorite toy. He is doing awesome with the brace he only has to wear it when he has shoes on. Does not have to sleep with it. He has yet to take it off. One therapist already say's they can see a difference's in his walking. Hopefully this will work out so we don't have to do surgery later. What a blessing to have a brace to fix his walking. To make life easier on Wyatt.

It is a blessing as is Wyatt and his mom and dad. He was, and I've said this before, sent to you because heavenly father knew that you and Michael would take care of him. I'm so proud of all of you and can't wait to see you in July.
Give him a hug for me and I love you all!!!!!!!!

The brace looks really cool. I'm so hopeful, like you, that this will take care of his problems with his right leg and foot so that he doesn't need surgery. Wouldn't that be something? See you in 3 weeks. Yippee!!!

Sweet little Wyatt!! I can't believe how much he looks like his brother (and I can't believe Ethan is 9 years old!!).

I love it that he always has such a big smile on his face.

You're a STUD, Wyatt!!

This is from April (I am using mom's computer):

Wyatt is a doll, he is just so cute. Whenever I see his sweet little mischievous face, it makes me smile! He is such a sweet boy and I am so happy that he has such a easy going personality (i.e. letting the doctors do what they need etc.). I think the brace looks cool! It is different than I thought, I guess I imagined it above his knee...I don't know what I was thinking. But it looks awesome! I can't wait to see you all in a couple of weeks! YIPPEE!! Dallin was asking about the kids this trip (we are in Vegas), he was hoping they would be here...I told him next time! We love you guys! Like Grandma said, you too are a blessing to little Wyatt-you guys do such a great job!

That is a cool looking brace. I'm sure the cars helped him even more. Also, thank goodness for the miracle invention of Velcro,How else would you have found a shoe to fit. Things keep getting better and hopefully easier on Wyatt & your family. We hope we can see you in July when you visit. Much Love, Stephanie

The cars on his brace is too cool!
How long did he keep the brace on? cos I didn't see him wearing it last time we met. I love Wyatt's smile when he's trying to hide from you, he's one good looking boy. anyway, it was great to see you and everyone again. I wish I could stay longer and chat some more. Can't wait to see you guys again.
