How are his legs? Will he be able to walk?
Spencer’s legs are bowed in (he looks like he is always in a meditation pose) due to his knees. His lower legs are rotated in about 80 degrees (at the knee) and may be the result of the top of his Tibia bones not forming correctly. His knees do work however, and his hips are perfect which is good news. Whether or not we will seek to corect the rotation is up in the air. Spence may prefer to use his legs and feet like arms. We have been warned by Shriner’s that one day we may turn around and find him standing. They have found that if kids with special needs want to stand and can find a way to do it, they will!
