Emerence's xray

[Guest guest]

Well, this certainly has been a long haul with these xrays...it

started with a bone age, then went to pseduoepiphyses of the

metacarpals then this special xray last week wehre they put a ruler

down as part of the xray.

Well, Dr. H measured her L leg shorter 2 conventions ago. Last

summer her ortho said there was negligible asymetry but never told

me which leg was longer (our genetics dr told me today that xray

showed the R longer). WEll, the recent xrays show her LEFT is

LONGER. Each bone, tibia and fibia, are both .2 longer than the

same bone on right leg making her LEFT leg LONGER! However, her

left butt cheek and left foot are smaller. So, the geneticist was

concerned (by the way pseudoepiphyses were revconfirmed as present,

now a moot issue just another item to chalk up) as to why her LEFT

was now supposedly longer. She is afraid either someone screwed up

somewhere along the line OR her left leg has grown longer. I have,

for almost 1.5 years, told every dr. EMErence's hip and shoulder

(left side) do notl ook aligned and look higher on the left than the

right. IF her leg is really onger on the LEFT it woud explain this

and I am guessing put her at serious risk for scoliosis! Somehow I

see more xrasy in our future. Our genetics doc sent the xrays back

for further review but she is out of town until Monday so I have to

wait until then.

SIGH. have anice night!
