Today Grandpa joined Ryan and me as the first casts came off and we saw the progress of Ryan's little feet. As an added bonus from the casts, his legs loosened up a bit, as you can see from the pictures (which we will try to get in focus for you next time). Dr Rinsky was pleased with how Ryan's feet looked today and also liked the range of motion Ryan had after just one week of casting. We are planning on 6 weeks total of casting, then Ryan will have his first tendon release surgery. After that, Ryan will have casts on for 3 weeks straight and then the doctor will assess where we are at - either we will continue with more casting or we will move to braces for his legs.
After our trip to NJ in June, Ryan will meet up with his new physical therapist (PT) and his new occupational therapist (OT). Once we meet them, Ryan will be fitted with arm splints to help straighten his wrists.
Ryan is eating like a champ. Devin and Lily are enjoying the newest addition to the family and they both shower Ryan with lots of hugs and kisses, sometimes a little too enthusiastically! Derek and I are looking forward to spending time back east and introducing everyone to the little guy.

Well the pictures were clear when I snaped them!! Must be the developer!
You're off the hook, Grandpa, the one that is out of focus (close up of feet) is one that Ryan's Mommy took! That grandson of yours was movong to fast to be captured on film!
Yeay! Those legs are looking great! Love the pictures, keep them coming! My computer is so old they didn't even look that blurry! :)
Thanks for the updates! His progress is looking awesome! Kier...is it just me, or does little Ryan have that same big toe that Devin had....hmmm? :)
