I love that Philadelphia is only an hour and a half away, but I am so glad to get home again.
The Drs at Shriner's took a look at Miss Shekinah's hands and feet today. Their diagnosis?
No treatment recommended unless of course that transverse bone in her right hand decides to grow and cause her problems. They were suitably impressed by her cuteness and her skill with those hands.
Her feet they say are just fine as long as the now soft cartilage does not harden and force her feet into a wide shape that doesn't fit into shoes.
So for now we get to visit them in a year for a followup
Joe is good for another 6 months. Then he needs to have a follow up on the legs and probably will need to have another pair of legs built.
Anyone have any ideas what to do with all these legs we are stockpiling? Gotta check pinterest. Maybe a lampstand? OK now it's time for bed.
Glad to hear that the appointment went so well!! And I do envy that you are only 1.5 hours away from some of the best orthos in the country/world!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe get to see you in January!
Haiti needs prosthetic legs since so many people ended up with amputations after the earthquake. Check with these guys http://www.hanger.com/pages/haitirelief.aspx
