After a relatively short wait Kaitlin's name was called for her exam with the Orthopedic. He carefully looked at her x-rays then pushed, pulled and twisted her lower leg. Then he had her stand on the floor while he check her stance and the arches of her feet. It appears as though her bones are good and the problem is muscular. On Tuesday she will begin 10 session over 5 weeks of physical therapy in order to teach her some exercises which should eleviate the pain when it comes.
Our "gordito" (a term of affection here meaning fat little boy) does have a turned in foot as a resultof one tendon being shorter than the other, evidently it's quite normal. The Orthopedic believes it should correct itself once the other tendon catches up in growth. If Silas still has the turned in foot after he is a year old the doctor would like to see him again.
As for Brandon, his nose has character. He saw the plastic surgeon for a recheck on Thursday. Since the break is not affecting his breathing they opt to leave it alone. If at any time that changes they will reconsider their options.
Thank you all who prayed for short waits at the hospital. Since all of these appointments were with the specialists our time in the hospital should have been much longer, especially since Kaitlin and Silas had numbers 4 and 10. Thankfully, I only had to wait for about 45 minutes since the Orthopedic graciously saw both of them at the same time. Scott had absolutely no wait on Thursday. Leaving us both with more time to get other things accomplished.
