We first noticed Kindra's "Party Trick" a few months ago. I thought that it had to do with her premature club feet bone-muscle-hip issue from back in the day. We made an apt and took her up to Primary's to visit her Orthopedic Specialist.

"Hmmmmm. I've never seen this before. Let me take a few pictures so that I can do some research. Let me go and grab the Sports Medicine Specialist and see if he can help me out with this one. This is definitely a first."

Oh great. That's the last thing that a parent wants to hear. I just want to know how to fix it! Please???

We ended up taking some X-Rays which showed nothing serious for us to worry about so the next step was an MRI. Great. Sitting at the hospital for 6 hrs is my favorite thing to do. I just want to know how to fix it and quick. Don't get me wrong. Of course I want to make sure that we're doing all that's possible but I can not express to you how bad I hate hospitals. As soon as we enter the doors...the smell...the hallways...the sadness that is looming about...the everything...takes me back to a year of my life and of Kindra's life that I'd soon rather forget. I hope that does not make me sound too selfish but it's the truth. We all hope to go through this life without having to endure the pain, the sadness that a hospital can possibly bring into our lives. She was a little nervous that there was "going to be blood and that they were going to break her fragile bones." Isn't it funny the things that kids can come up with and create in their minds?!?





She did such a good job and did not move a muscle so she got to pick a prize. Meet the new addition to our stuffed animal collection. "This is white lamby and she matches and can go right along with my white blanky." Oh great Kindra. That's cool. That's all we need!?!


Kindra jokes all of the time about how she sleeps with her eyes partly open. She really does and it can be quite eerie at times. Look....Poor Kindra. The medicine that they sedated her with made her sick and she was unable to keep anything down. I hate when I feel so helpless and feel like I can not do anything to help her except for letting her sip down on some Sprite and slowly eating some crackers.

Sorry Kindra for having to put you through that but that "Party Trick"??? Lets get a handle on that one before it comes back to haunt us. I can only imagine!

We love you Kindra!

Poor peanut. Primary's is such an amazing place, but you're right - so much pain for so many. We're headed there in an hour for the hard cast for T. Kindra, you're as tough as your mom.
