To start the day, London and I took a bath...we were dirty, little monkeys. This was my first time in a bath with someone else and boy, was it fun. 
After we were all ready, we left the Ronald McDonald House and went the few blocks to the Shriner's Hospital...it took Mommy 15 minutes to warm up the car so we could get in it to drive 5 minutes...hmmm...
I wanted to try on Jade's beads. I started the day with pigtails....and ended up with braids, my first ones. 
After they took x-rays of my back and legs, we had a few minutes to kill so I played with this cool, touchy board on the wall.
All went better than expected. Usually Mommy has to be ready to do battle with the orthopedic docs, but not this day. They were more than willing to help me out. Mommy wanted me to leave with at least AFO's [(Ankle-Foot-Orthotic)(see previous post about left foot contortion)], but instead, we left with a script for KAFO's (Knee-Ankle-Foot-Orthotic) and Dr. D-Astous also thought I should have a walker. I am so excited to get my new equipment. 
For the interim, they gave me some neoprene knee stabilizers for an adult and we will go to Phoenix to get the actual braces. I went to Physical Therapy and met Keri and Mark. While I was with them, I got to stand up for the first time. It was COOL!!
