Lorelei's Appointment
Lorelei saw the Pediatric Orthopedic Specialist today, and overall it was very good news.
The doctor said that while it did look as though her right leg is longer than the other, it is such a small difference at this point, that she would rather not treat it. Her hips and spine are perfectly lined up as they should be. She said the asymmetric creases in legs were something to get checked out, but were not a true indication that something is wrong. She measured her legs and found her femurs to be the same length.
So, bottom line, we will keep watching it. If she is still not walking normally at future appointments, we will look closer. If at some point her right leg is much longer than the other, we will figure out our options then.
We are thankful for the good report, and thank you to all my friends for praying.

Great news! That has to be a relief. I will continue to pray.
RYC: That pic does make Zack look a bit uncertain, but he actually did really well.
So thankful for the good report, Cathi! We'll keep praying that everything will be fine as she grows! I hope you all have a wonderful day! Blessings!
Rejoicing! We'll keep praying. : )
Oh what good news! Trusting God that it all continues to be fine!!
Glad to hear there is nothing serious at the moment! My mom's legs are slightly different lengths - she now just wears a tiny insert in some of her shoes, and it fixes the problem. Hopefully the "problem" will be just as insignificant for your little girl!
I'm so glad to hear this news.
Praising the Lord with you!!! I know you must feel such relief, and rightly so!
This is good news! I'm so glad, Cath!
That is great news. Thanks for up dating!

Wonderful news! Praising God with you...
I'm glad that was an encouragement to you, Cathi, and I also saw Shanda's post today ... hers encouraged me, as well ... isn't it neat when God has us write something to bless others ... I get blessed so many times on here! I hope you're having a great night there with your precious family! Bless you!
