AR Childrens Hospital

Well we did not tell anyone but just close family but we took Chief to Ar Children's yesterday we got back great news. Chief's feet turn in and we thought he may need corrective shoes and no one in this area would see him because of his age, so we made the trip down to Little Rock yesterday. The doc said everything is okay his hips do turn in a little causing his feet to turn in but they think he will out grow it to the most part. We did learn something that most NFL football players and track stars are pigeon toed. so maybe we have a football player or track star in the family. Bob's feet turned in a little too but he out grown it and was not as bad as Chief. The doc said that corrective shoes would not work on Chief if it was real bad they would do surgery and put take out part of the ankle bone and put pins in. Anyway we are thanking the good Lord that Chief is not that bad and does not have to go through all that.

Ohhh, I'm so glad Chief won't need anything major done!! That's scary, especially for one so little. Good job for getting it checked out right away!!
We just found out today that Ethan has an abscessed tooth (!!!) and we'll have to take him to a special pediatric dentist to get it removed and a spacer put in. Ethan really freaked out today during his appt. :-( It's hard when kids don't really understand that everyone around them is only trying to help...
