Well, it's official...
My oldest is lopsided
:(
Not the end of the world.
She has more testing to do and an appointment with my nephew's orthopedic surgeon in a couple of weeks.
We need to see if her knock-knee-ness comes from ligaments around the knee on the outside being looser than the ligaments on the inside and drawing the knees in or if it is from her bones actually twisting in.
The first option involves PT, the second, potential surgery.
There really isn't anything we can do about her face except pray it isn't too severe and start saving for plastic surgery and bone grafts.
The geneticist had a field day when she realized that there are 5 official, 1 potential and 5 yet to be discovered "victims" and is trying to see if Children's Hospital will authorize genetic testing on the fan-damily.
If she gets the ok, we could see if my youngest is just waiting for puberty to hit before she changes or if she dodged the bullet so to speak.
Next stop Asperger's...
Well....if it's not one thing it's another. The good thing is that these kids of ours are so resilient. They are tough cookies and honestly the girls are tougher than the boys. Heck. They are our kids so we know for a fact they are badass. The hardest is on the moms. She has made it this far....she's gonna do great. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks! You are right - she will be fine...actually handling it better than anyone else. And our kids are badass! How could they not be?! Hugs back to you - xo
