update

tomorrow we're taking meg to the neurologist. her gait has gotten a lot worse lately and she's fallen many times. in case you don't know, meg has autism and cerebral palsy, causing her to walk on her toes. she wore AFOs (ankle-foot orthotics; braces) on her feet when she was younger, but they irritated her skin and dug into her calves. we decided to just let her toe walk as long as it didn't worsen. and for years it was fine, until lately she's started toeing in as she walks and dragging a foot slightly behind her as she takes a step. the CP is worsening, so she'll probably need extra PT (more than she gets at school) and new AFOs or similar. hopefully that will be the end of it.

she's also been tired a lot lately (sleeping maybe 15-17 hours out of 24 some days), but now that we know she had an infection, that might be why. we'll mention it to the doc and see what he says.

I probably won't post tomorrow, so for those of you who celebrate, Shana Tova! May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year.
