Update at the bottom of this post.......
Today Jack has an appointment in Sioux Falls. He's going to see a doctor who will tell us if he needs orthotics. When Jack walks, his left foot is usually normal, but his right foot points out at a 90 degree angle. I noticed that it wasn't bad in the video that I took of him walking, but it's normally quite obvious. I'm anxious to see what the doctor has to say about it.
Here is a peek at Jack in the bath. He earned his way there by way of chocolate. :) It looks as though he enjoyed his cookie.
I'll try to post an update later today. If not today, for sure tomorrow.
PS: Happy Birthday to my step-dad, Roger!!
Update: The doctor said that Jack doesn't need orthotics at this time. She wants to see him back in 2 months to check his progress. She said that she could put him in a pair of $300 orthotics (that insurance doesn't pay a penny of), but really didn't feel like he needed it right now. He's just very flexible and needs to gain strength. She said him trying to walk on his flexible ankles/feet is like you and I trying to walk on marbles. It's hard for him to maintain his balance. However, with practice should come strength. She even touched his toes to his shins to show me just how flexible he was. I would have believed her without the visual. I about threw up. It was - ick! So that's that. We got great news!! (for once.....jinx)

I can't get over how much he looks like Nathan at that age. The look on his face when he fell was priceless.
I LOVE that cookie face!
btw ... Just Son used to wear orthotics, and now where's shoe inserts for flat feet. He adapted to all of it really well.
He is so darn cute. Love the face when he fell in the tub. Good luck today and can not wait to hear what you find out.
