This week has been very eventful! We had an appointment with our prosthetist to get fitted for the first prosthetic limb.
The fitting process is very interesting. First you put on the liner and then they put stickers on the liner which are used for the scanning process. They then scan the leg and it transfers into the computer. They then make the plastic trial socket.
John tried on the trial socket and did some weight bearing on the limb. It was a very exciting process! He did really well on putting most of his weight on his residual limb. They had to make several adjustments to the socket and we have another appointment coming up on Monday for the next fitting.
We are very excited about this next step in the process and being one step closer to the final product! Thank you so much for all your support and prayers! We have been so blessed to be able to share this whole process with you all and we can't wait to learn more with you!
