About Me

On March 21st, 2010 My daddy left for his last trip away from us. On March 22nd we had to ask him to come home. I had my first seizure that day. One month later I was diagnosed with Infantile Spasms. I have been through a lot in my short life. But I bring so much joy to my mommy and daddy every time I smile.

Jayen had therapy today and the orthodics specialist came. He observed Jayen walking and standing, then he took the time to explain everything to me. He showed me why he and the therapist were concerned. Jayen has pronation in his foot. His leg, ankle, and heel bone do not line up.

Jayen was fitted for SureStep orthodics. The SureStep system uses the principle of compressing the foot through the use of an extremely lightweight, thin and flexible plastic. This allows for more natural movement of the foot and ankle while still maintaining proper alignment in standing, walking, running and jumping! Jayen will wear these until his foot grows out of them, usually 9-12 months. They look like the picture below. We picked a different pattern for Jayen's though!
