MY DAUGHTERS APPOINTMENT AT CHILDRENS MERCY
WE HAD AN APPOINTMENT AT THE CHILDRENS HOSPITAL IN KANSAS CITY TODAY WITH A ORTHO DOC TO SEE HOW BAD IT IS AND WHAT THE COURSE OF TREATMENT WILL BE. HE SAW HER AND HER XRAYS AND SAID THAT AT THIS TIME SHE LOOKS GOOD AND DOESN'T THINK THAT SHE WILL NEED BRACES OR SURGERY AT THIS POINT. HE SAID THAT BRACES ARE PRETTY MUCH A THING OF THE PAST AND THAT IT IS A WAIT AND SEE GAME AND HE WANTS TO SEE HER BACK IN 3 MONTHS TO TAKE MORE XRAYS AND COMPARE THE TWO, SO THAT HE WILL KNOW WHAT STAGE IT IS IN. SO AS FOR NOW WE HAD REALLY GREAT NEWS TODAY, BUT COME SEPTEMBER WE WILL FIND OUT IF SHE WILL HAVE TO HAVE SURGERY OR NOT. HE SAID THAT CHILDREN UNDER 5 ONLY HAVE ABOUT A 5% CHANCE OF HAVING SURGERY. ALSO.. HE TOLD US THAT CHILDREN WHO HAVE LEGG PERTHES DISEASE IN ONE HIP HAVE A 20% CHANCE OF HAVING IT IN THE OTHER. HE SAID THAT THE LATTER OF THE TWO IS USUALLY THE WORST BECAUSE THE CHILD IS OLDER AND IT CAUSES MORE DAMAGE. WE ARE TRYING TO KEEP OUR SPIRITS UP AND HAVE SAID ALOT OF PRAYERS IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, OTHER THAN A LITTLE LIMP HERE AND THERE YOU CAN'T TELL THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH HER AND I HOPE THAT IT STAYS THAT WAY.
HUGS AND THANK YOU ALL FOR THE PRAYERS AND GOOD VIBES, LAYLA
