Robert gets fitted for a new brace

The ACL brace they gave Robert from Orthopedic Specialists was way too big for him, so we had to order a specially made one just for him.  It was ordered on Thursday, December 22 and came in on December 29.  It, too, has complications.  Their are 5 straps.  One of the straps (a critical one) is too large for Robert's thigh.  Even with the specific measurements it came in too big.

Betsy went to Michael's and got some double sided Velcro hooks so we can make the strap the right size for Robert's skinny legs.


This looks like a much better brace for him.  He is still in PT 2 times a week while doing PT every day at home.  We are hoping for a quick and safe recovery.
