Well, prayers you can get him straightened out. What is it you are seeing? You know Ramius had to wear a brace on his legs when he was about Matthews age.

His feet look ok, but it looks like to me that his ankles, especially his left one, is growing in and down...kinda on the inside of his arch!

Almost a year ago, he kept falling...he'd just be walking along and then WHAM! He'd just topple over! It hurt his ankle really bad too...but it was nothing a day or two of ibuprofen couldn't handle...no swelling or anything. But I bought him some high-top Chucks and that seemed to stop the problem of him falling.

Well, a couple of weeks ago he was standing right in front of me and I looked down and just was horrified with how it looked! So I was going to take him in to see the doctor when our family doctor just up and quit and moved away...so I had to get his info all switched over to a brand new doctor and when I finally got all that done, I took him in.

The first thing that doc did was inspect his shoes and he's got really unusual wear patterns on his shoes...

Matthew has never been very physically active...he runs slowly. The doctor said he likely has a subconscious distrust of his own feet! Then, as you know, we found out he loves to swim and I take him swimming almost every single day.

The doctor said that the chuck taylors and the swimming were the very best things I could've done...made me feel a little better.
