Another Specialist!

So we got the results back from the CT scan on the little guy. Turns out that the vertebrae of his spine is not properly formed (or not completely formed) I don’t remember exactly. The doctor said that this could be what is causing the lump in his side. Also, one side of his ribcage is shorter than the other side. So he referred us to a pediatric orthopedic surgeon in Loma Linda. Now from my aunt’s experience, I know that it can take months to get appointments at Loma Linda. There were two pediatric orthopedic doctors–one had an appointment available Dec. 11. Sheesh, what could you expect though. The other had one opening Sept. 25 and one Oct. 28. Lucky me that I should be able to get it before I start my long term sub. So we’ll be going to see the specialist Sept. 25 at 1:15 p.m. Hopefully everything turns out ok. The doctor didn’t know what the next steps would be or if/how it should be corrected. He said it could turn out to be scoliosis. Hopefully it doesn’t. I’ll keep you posted.
