Hi All, So happy to see these replies. Greetings from Ireland. We have a five year old boy. I am the carrier so awaiting neurologist appointment in July. Same therapies AFO’s physio night time cast for right leg only. Hard at the moment with AFOs as to why I can’t do what other kids do and the AFOs are heavy and awkward.
