Saw the orthopedic today.
He agrees that youngest has very flat feet. But he's of the opinion that unless and until there is pain associated with walking, that the best course of action is nothing. He says orthotics are fine but maybe not super necessary. And that probably the tripping will be either grown out of or conquered when ADHD is more under control.
I'm on the fence about just taking it and calling it a day.
On the one hand, I don't need anything more to worry about and it's not like I want him to need surgery or anything.
On the other, he falls basically any time he tries to run.
To be fair though, he'll be running along and get distracted and that is when he falls. So yeah. It could be the ADHD.
For now, we're gonna roll with doing nothing. But I'm going to keep a closer eye and ask about pain now and then (although he's not one to be stoic so I really do think he'd speak up if he hurt.)
So. All's well that ends well?
Ish.
