OUCH!

Yesterday Mimi had her red casts taken off.  There was a lot of swelling, bruising and redness on her feet and skin.  That was not a good sign.  Here is a picture of her feet when we took off the casts.  They look like alien feet!
It is hard to see in the picture, but around her ankles and joint it is really discolored.
We have another appointment this morning to look at her skin and what is going on there.  I will let you know how that goes.

  Thank you for all the information and resources!  I am getting in touch with the CP Association, who will help children even if they do not have a CP diagnosis.  We don't have a diagnosis for Mimi that explains why she is an idiopathic toewalker, but we meet with her orthopedist on Monday. We have never really considered a diagnosis, but have found that with one, we can get some help.  I am uncertain if they will even test for CP (cerebral palsy)  I know this is a short blog, but not a lot to report!  I will have more info after her appointment this morning.  Thanks again!
