Orthotics, At Long Last

After years of asking for them, I finally have a prescription for orthotics for my eldest child.  At last, he's going to get the support that he needs for his ankles.  It's been a frustrating journey, since his need is not quite under the dominion of his developmental pediatrician or his orthotist.  I will tip my hat to the neuromuscular specialist for that.  We were able to find the niche, due to her bias towards her own professionals.  We won't be going with them, of course.  They are an unnecessary travel expense and frustration.  But the company that makes them for her orthotist is the company that will provide them.  Our family physician wrote the proscription for us.  We'll go to another orthotist, and skip the wait and frustration.  The support is not that much longer in his future.  Hooray.
