We are pretty sure he walks on his toes due to his sensory processing problems (that's a whole OTHER post).. and that it's not linked to autism (praying really hard that we're right). Anyways, a few months ago.. Karen suggested that Camden get SMO's (Read about them here). I was ok with that.. I had no worries because 1. you could barely see them and 2. it was temporary. Well, last week the company came to fit him for his SMO's and immediately the guy said he needed AFO's because his toe walking is so severe. (Read about AFO's here). Well.. I have to be honest.. I was in TEARS.. these aren't so small, they cover the back of his calf.. and they clearly look like leg braces.

Your right.. it sucks and no mother wants to see their child "different" from others. Your also right that it IS what's best for him.
Camden is so special in soo many ways. This is one more "special" thing that will help him accomplish so many new things!
I see it helping him so quickly that I bet he will only need them for a few short weeks. Look how fast he learns and adapts. He catches on to things so quickly.
And, well, being his 26 month old little body is way too small for his 18 month pants.. they will hide them perfectly :)
XOXO
