pictures of brace

Finally, pictures of Russell and his brace!  First, here is a picture of Russell in his brace, with his shirt on. You can't even tell hardly that he is wearing a brace! This is nice.  People don't stare at him as much anymore.  I really appreciate that.
 
 So there is the same mushroom-shaped window in the front.  Scott picked out the camouflage color.  You'll notice there are no over-the-shoulder straps.
 
 Here, you can see the three Velcro pieces that hold it together tightly in the back.  There are lines on the Velcro that help us know how tight it needs to be.
In this picture, you can kind of see the indentation just above his hips.  That helps hold his pants up, as in the picture below.  The cast was the same in that way.  The snake was his favorite toy that day.
