only when you see your child hurting and crying and there is NOTHING you can do. Easton received his braces today. And I know that this may sound petty but it stinks, plain and simple. I know that this is the best thing for him and it needs to be done. But it sinks. He wants to crawl and walk. He tries so hard. He gets on the tip of his brace and falls head first then crys. He crys because he is frustrated because he can't move. And sometimes I cry with him. I'm helpless. He looks over at me, like help me mom, why can't I do this?!And I cant do one thing, other than tell him its going to be ok. I know it will, and I know it's only the first day, but I just feel bad. Tonight when he was sitting he moved a little and then fell back. He tried and tried to get up but just couldn't so he gave up and just layed there. I felt useless and hopeless. I thought I would never say this but I want him to
walk run around, scream because he is happy, climb on the couch after the tenth time telling him not to. I know that it seems like forever away but it's only for one month then we may only have to have it on at night. Like I said, I don't want to sound ungrateful for knowing what is wrong, or anything else. But it's hard seeing your child hurt.
Here are pictures of his legs/feet 2 days before his braces. I will upload the pictures of his braces later in the week

| If you look, he has a cup and syringe for his medicine....it has nothing in it |
 |
| Left foot is the worst |
 |
| If you look he balances on his left foot with his toes curled up |
 |
| Hopefully the braces will fix this |
 |
| Even after everything he has been through he smiles all the time |
