Hi Everyone,
We timed our scheduled yearly trip to the Philippines so that we would be with Ada during her appointment with the orthopaedic specialist. Luckily, the weather cooperated, the recent typhoons stayed away, the boat ride was pleasant, and we had a good meeting with the specialist. She will get the braces similar to the one shown below, extending up to the hips for support and including leather shoes for her feet. Ada will be seeing the specialist for the fitting in around three weeks’ time, once the braces will be ready.
Ada had never been to McDonald’s! So following our early visit to the orthopaedic clinic, we had lunch there. What's commonplace for many children has turned out to be a special experience for her!
The trip was overall a success and hopefully will be life changing for Ada. The specialist has been quite positive in the prospect of Ada walking by herself independently. Should this become a reality, it would be a miracle!
Thanking you all for the support. It is truly appreciated.
Ruben
