Dear Noah:

Well....I started talking to you last about seeing the occupational therapist next Wednesday and then the orthotist to have special braces/orthotics made to fit in your shoes and up your ankles and of course you got all upset and started crying. You are afraid the pads or whatever in your shoes or ankles will HURT and make your ankles or feet or legs feel worse. You said you would see the occupational therapist but did NOT want to see the orthotist. I said we could at least "talk" to her and hear what she had to say MIGHT be helpful to correct your flat feet, fallen arches and stance, etc. So we will see.

HOPEFULLY by next Wednesday you will be able to handle the visit and not start crying and screaming "help me" as soon as someone comes into the clinic room!

I love you!

Mommy
