Today we received Anna's fourth leg. She's had her current one for 14 months, which is a really long time for a growing child. Her new leg is a little bit more advanced than her previous one. It has a foot with mechanics that allows it to bend a little bit side to side and front and back, which means it will give her more shock absorption when she puts pressure on it (jumping, running, etc.) and will be easier to manipulate. We wanted to go ahead and move forward with the next type of leg even though the foot only came in a size that was a few sizes too big for her other foot. This means that the leg is a little bit bigger than her other one, but still just as functional. We know she will grow into a 'matching' size soon.
