Miikka got her new brace on Monday. It is a custom made orthotic made by OrthoPets.
It is a world famous company and I'm so lucky that they happen to be in Denver.
A week ago, they made a cast (mold) of Miikka's leg and the brace was designed just for her and her injury.
She is showing no discomfort while wearing it, and we take it off at night when she goes to bed. She will be able to be a lot more active while wearing this and it will be adjusted every two weeks as her achilles tendon heals.
When she is all better (8 weeks they guess), then the brace can be used as a "sports" brace for her.
The things they can do nowadays...
