When Eva first got her AFOs, I told her that she could call them UFOs instead, if she wanted. Keep things interesting. She didn't. Sometimes she's a serious lady.
After Eva's December Botox injections, she was fitted for a second pair of AFOs.
Check out the difference in the wedge, pre-Botox and post-Botox.

Have I mentioned that Eva is a wild woman? |
Eva's AFOs are just for positioning, not weight-bearing. She will be receiving a second pair that's level on the bottom (including the wedge) for standing. This is a Tami which provides some tension to promote dorsiflexion and inhibit plantar flexion (toe-pointed ballet feet).
In the meantime, we are looking for some shoes to go with these bad boys. I like Livie & Luca shoes, so I checked their website to see if any would fit over Eva's AFOs, and this is what I found:
Pretty cool. I still don't know if they'll fit over AFOs, but props to Livie & Luca for inclusive advertising.
