Walking



As you all know we have been very worried about Trevor for years now.  We still are, but today we are one large step closer to figuring out this mystery.  Well maybe one giant step closer to making Trevor's feet,  pain free.  I have not been feeling well the last few days, (more on that later) so I had Eric take Trevor to see the Physical Therapist and take Trevor's old worn out shoes along with him to show the Therapist( Pattie ).
The way I understand things is that today while Patti was playing with Trevor and watching him walk and different things she noticed his feet and the way he uses them. Because of the way Trevor walks on his feet his body has over compensated and made certain toe bones larger than they should be and muscles much larger in his feet too.  And all of the strain makes his poor toes HURT.  Now to treat His feet.  Sounds like another specialist is going to make a nice soft comfy pair of supportive shoes to help Trevor walk properly and to relieve the strain on his poor toes and feet.  This sounds so wonderful.  I am curious to find out why he walks the way he does but so glad that they can help his feet.





















You can see by the wear on his shoes he does not walk properly.  He walks with both feet turned to the right and he does not stride.

  1. What a blessing to find out! I hope they can treat it with such precision that it ceases to be a problem for him. Love you! (And I missed not seeing you today!)
