Today we went to Shriners and got Jonathan's prostetic foot. He puts it on over his foot sort of like a little bootie, and then closes a velcro strap to keep it on. He has to wear a stocking under it to keep from chaffing. He wears socks and regular shoes over it. He won't be able to walk bear-foot with it, because of wear and tear. He will need to wear his foot with shoes most of the time, expect for naps and bedtime. Right now, he's getting used to wearing shoes for the first time, and the added weight of the prosthetic foot (the front of it is weighted to help with his balance). But, I think he'll get used to it soon.
Thanks so much for all your prayers.
