one of my miracles...

let's begin at where this first started and let's not forget to see this too!
so obviously her "party trick" has not gone away. the physical therapy helped to strengthen the muscles that are around her knee but the popping out is still occurring. it seriously breaks my heart every time it happens! it can happen when she's running, walking, during ballet, soccer, anything, and there is no warning.
we were able to get in to her original doctor that repaired her club feet when she was born, dr stotts who is up at primary children's hospital. he ran some x-rays and discovered the main problem. the reason why her knee pops out is because it is overcompensating for what is not properly aligned in regards to her bones. it should all "fit" into a straight line and as you can see from the x-ray, it is not. which might i add that i KNEW that this was the problem. i KNEW that it had to do with her bones, not the muscles. mother's instinct...
they need to do another mri to really see the severity of the operation, but there will definitely be one. they will take out some bone from the hip and then add some screws and such in the knee. :(
either way, she'll need to be in the hospital for a few days and won't be able to walk for 4 wks. yeah. home school here we come. we'll make this as fun as we can, right? and i will get some time to learn more patience with homework. homework. love it! learn to love it!


hehehe
silly girl.
