Ortho Update

Diana had her 6 month Orthopedic followup appointment today with Dr. Mehlman.  I had no idea that they would be taking xrays today but I guess I should have guessed.  Taking xrays of a 1 year-old who doesn't like to be held or confined was quite interesting.  Like most things with Diana, they had to bring in an extra helper.  Jonathan got to stand behind the window with another girl and at one point I heard him say "What does that button do?"  Her response, "I am not sure, but let's not touch anything."  Dr. Mehlman was very pleased with the xray pictures, aside from a little fussiness from her moving so much, he said that they bone structure is lining up as it should, which is great news.  He looked at her feet and watched her walk and said that she looked great too.  We don't have to go back for another year!  I guess things can still change with her growing and walking now, so we aren't completely out of the clear but it sounds promising.  After next year's appointment, if all looks well then we won't need to go back unless I see an issue.  Fingers crossed!
