This is just a quick post about Masons recent appointments this past week or so.
Mason was finally fitted for his AFOs which are way cool. Mason doesn't seem to kind them and he is already showing improvements in his standing and walking ability. He is more confident about standing and trying to walk which tells me he is getting stronger already. We still have a little issue of his right leg turning in. All this time I thought it was just his weak ankle but its also a knee/hip weakness because even with the brace on he sort of twists at the knee sometimes ( its totally freaky). Hopefully in time we will strengthen these muscles needed to straighten things out there.
Mason is walking with his walker! He needs a little help getting his feet in the right position and tends to drag them with his shoes on, but he is able to walk halfway across the room almost unassisted!
Mason also recently had to do a urodynamics study to test his bladder pressure to see if there were any issues there. Turns out he is just borderline on unhealthy pressures, but the doc says that as long as his kidneys are healthy and he hasn't had any UTI's he should be okay not to cath. And according to his renal ultrasound his kidneys are healthy and we have no problems with UTI's so far. It was such a relief to walk out of this appointment knowing we were still in the clear and that Mason is doing well.
We are so so grateful for Heavenly Father's blessings as he watches over our family. We continue to see Mason perform miracles everyday as he meets his milestones. When we learned of Masons condition we didn't know if he would ever walk. And yet here he is walking across the room smiling at us like its no big deal! I cannot deny the tender mercies of Heavenly Fathers hand we witness on a daily basis.
