Ben's Third Appointment With Dr. Deering...

Today we went and saw Dr. Deering, who is his Orthopaedic Surgeon. She really wanted to see Ben walking with his braces on to make sure he was handling it well. Of course, he did awesome! We talked a
little about his rotation, and I showed her pictures. In her opinion, this is just part of it. There isn't really anything we can do about it right now. It was nice to hear that she has been to BHB, and thinks it's wonderful! We will go back and see her in 3 months. At that time we will have more xrays done to see how his bones are, and if the Blounts Disease is worsening. Here are a few pictures from our visit...

Happy Boy!








After we got home Ben was in a pretty good mood. We went out back to play. I decided to take a short video to show everyone how well Ben gets around in his braces. It's one thing for me to say he does... quite another for you to see it yourself!

Our next appointment for Ben is next week. He has Physical Therapy with Lisa on the 24th!
