At Will's 5 year old check-up I asked the doctor about him walking on his tip-toes. He's been doing it constantly since he was about two! He checked him out, watched him walk, and decided that he needs to see a orthopedist. In one leg, he can't quite get to a 90 degree angle with his foot and leg. He said the orthopedist may recommend physical therapy or just say that he does it out of habit and will outgrow. There is also the option that he might say that Will needs surgery to lengthen his tendons. I hope not.
Well, that adds yet another specialist we've seen this year to our list. Hopefully this will all blow over and the doctor visits will subside. Please keep our little family in your prayers for a very healthy 2008!
