I'm very hopeful that the AFO's will help and if they help enough to avoid a wheel chair that would be even better, but only time will tell. I wish I could say that my patience is where I believe it should be, but...well it's getting there.<br /><br />We've been very fortunate with our care team and I'm sorry that your interventionist wasn't very helpful.<br /><br />Congrats on Kaelyn's progress! <br /><br />Your story is very encouraging and I know of a few others that would probably love to pick your brain. Are you on Facebook? There is a group there called Hypotonia Parent Connection and many of them have young children like my Rae. There are so many questions and sometimes it is difficult to find answers or even helpful hints.<br />RettMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240398827208816505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-175625908824414790.post-14867233332998495672012-09-13T07:05:22.645-07:002012-09-13T07:05:22.645-07:00I just found your blog searching for something for...I just found your blog searching for something for my daughter. My daughter, too, has hypotonia. She was diagnosed at 10 months old. She ended up at a year and a half with her AFOs. They helped her immensely! I think that you will be very happy!I'm sure by now you've learned patience with your daughter (which is not one of my strongest suits, I'm learning, slowly, with my daughter, though! I had been told when Kaelyn (my daughter)that she should be walking within the month after getting her AFOs (we didn't have the best early interventionist at the time, she was not helpful, nor encouraging). Kaelyn took about 6 months, but she finally walked! My daughter is now 4 and is slowly but surely catching up on her milestones. We're still behind, but we're closing the gap slowly! Hugs to you and keep up the fight :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942769850322364032noreply@blogger.com
