I relived the situation and got all fired up again...

Today was a very busy day and we are all exhausted. The kids had therapy this morning that started at 8:30 because Gracie had her appointment for her leg brace at 11am. She is not happy about her new set up. She is so sensitive about so many things you wouldn't think a 2 year old would even notice let alone care about. So when I took off her Abby Cadabby shoe which is her favorite and got out her special shoes that fit her braces, she immediately started crying. She knew right away she wouldn't be able to wear Abby anymore. Breaks my heart and I know it's best to go through this now when she'll forget about it but it's still hard. It's hard for her to have to be different. The new set up SUCKS. She has her big foot brace (AFO) on her left foot and on top of that is this thing called a Pedi Wrap. She was so sad and just down about the whole thing. She is so very reserved and very modest. She never wants to stand out with her appearance. And she hates the shoes. They aren't bad... plain white with a few pink details but they aren't Abby or sparkle shoes... they aren't her style. Now for the even worse news, the measurements that were taken is for her all day brace which has to be made. It's basically going to be like the brace Forest Gump wore in the movie :(  And I'm not being vain here. I just don't want some snot nosed kid making comments about why she has that "thing" or why she walks like "that" and having to try to ignore the ignorant parent who knows everything her bratty kid just said and does nothing about it. See these type of situations are fighting words in my book. Let it be known I will whip some ass over that! Those are my biggest fears. Unfortunately, it happened on Monday. Anyway, lets hope we can get through the next several months with her brace.
I have more updates about Brody's appointment but I'm pretty fired up about the whole ignorant comments made about Gracie so I should probably calm down and come back again tomorrow.
Don't mess with my babies and watch your words directed towards them!
