My wife has some additional detail on the AFOs or braces. The podiatrist they saw yesterday said he could get the above carbon fiber AFOs that are already on the market for his cost of $700. OR, if the old plastic ones can be repaired and we can hang on until January, his new product will be available and he'll fit my son for free.

Thank you all again for your excellent responses. I'm going to pass all of them on the the doc to see if it will help his development.
