Thanks everyone for your help and concern in the ongoing saga with Lauren's knee. lol Well she has been making pretty good progress. Two weeks ago she saw the surgeon and he wanted her to not use any brace at all. We discussed this with her physical therapist, and because Lauren has flights of stairs at school and she goes up and down the stairs at least 4 times a day, it was decided that she use the smaller brace to give her support.
Lauren's biggest problem is that she walks on her toes. Now when it comes to her bending her knee she is doing really well, but when it comes to straightening her leg, she has work to do. I have asked her friends to help me by reminding her to walk "heal to toe" while she is at school. Her friends can be really obnoxious and are loving telling her what to do.
