Re: mom to Owen --Asymetry

[Guest guest]

Hi Betty

Owen is 5 yrs and 6 months. His whole body is assymetrical. The

difference in his legs is almost 3 cms. He see his ortho every 6

months and it gets a little worse everytime we go. The ortho told

me that he will do a leg lenghtening at age 6 or 7 and then again at

age 15-16. The younger they do it the first time the better because

their is less chance of developping back problems. Owen is very

very touchy about his clothes..he has a sense of style like ive

never seen and wont wear his shoes with a lift. Its not worth the

fight i have to go through to get him to wear the shoes.

How much does weigh and how tall is he?

Owen rss - 5 1/2 yrs. 26 lbs and 37 inches

Cory non rss -8 yrs
