February 14, 2020 "New AFO's fitting"

Rayden always enjoys going to see our orthodist, Bob. He only gets new AFOs once a year, therefore he forgets the process. He got a little upset when getting fitted this time but I honestly think it was because of his recent hip surgery and long time in casts. We reminded him that Bob will place the wet plaster on his feet and legs. When it dries he will 'zip' it off. He seemed alright with that but watched him like a hawk the entire time. Bob is so good with Rayden. He can replace Rayden's fears with laughter very quickly. Even though he can choose ANY color under the sun, Rayden decided to have green AFOs again. I thought for sure he would choose red because that is his favorite color. I asked him over and over. Bob even showed him lots of different patterns and colors but he continued to demand green. Therefore, green it is!
