The casting call

It's funny how I have days where there is nothing to share and then I just go blog-crazy.
Today, Evelyn and I took Jackson to POS (Prosthetic & Orthotic Specialists). I must be a true blonde. I didn't realize why people giggled at the name of the company until I was clearly explained what POS usually stands for. teehee! Any who...POS is where Jackson got his helmet and his first set of AFOs. To remind you, AFO stands for Ankle Foot Orthotics. I took some pictures to share the delight that Jack felt while getting casted. The person who takes care of us, since the beginning, is Andy. And...he grew up in the same town as me! Right, back to the casting pics.

The first picture shows Andy casting Jackson's right foot. You can see a sock on Jackson's left foot, which is great! I wouldn't want the cast to stick to Jackson's skin. The blue writing on the sock is marking where bones are. The blue marker transfers over to the inside of the cast.

The next picture show's what Jack was doing while the casting was taking place.

Jackson's first AFOs had a Spiderman design on them. We picked Spiderman because Spongebob was unavailable and Evelyn loved the Spidey. This time, Andy gave us the link to a website so we could pic out the design. Jackson, Evelyn, and I did our search and came up with 9 designs that we liked (out of 45 designs). I put the 9 designs on the iPad for Jack and let him pic. I kept signing "Twinkle Twinkle" and "good." The "good" was two different choices and the "Twinkle Twinkle" was for the night sky design with stars. Each time I showed Jack the night sky image he smiled and signed/said "Twinkle Twinkle."
Here's his choice. Jack's AFO choice. Spongebob wasn't available.

The next two pictures are what I found at Walmart this morning. Wow! Jack can spot Spongebob from a mile away. I thought the chair was cute and then we found the Pillow Pet! I didn't buy either item, but they are going on the wish list.
