And whose flat feet are those?? Could our huge obstacle of plantarflexion (toes pointed) now become an issue of dorsiflexion (beyond flat foot, over extended beyond the ankle)? Apparently this is signature for kids with diplegia but usually after heel cord surgery!! Did you read that? Her body just may be doing what is typical of someone with diplegia who HAD surgery!! She has had no surgery! Her brain made a switch or something! So time to start working out those calf muscles (which she currently has nearly none). So 36 days of taking minerals and has similar results to what one would hope surgery would achieve. Amazing!!!
This blog is to share N's (& now also E’s) progress while attempting to fix what we believe is possibly a mineral deficiency. Progress since beginning mineral supplements has been nothing short of amazing. In 2-3 weeks she (& he) has/have had more progress than what months and even years of therapy alone could/has done! Both kids have Spastic Diplegia (Cerebral Palsy). N is 12 and was born at 26-27 wk. E is 5 and was born at 29-30 wks. (updated Apr 2017)
