All clear from the orthopedist

Parker is having some issues with his left foot turning inward - they originally thought the muscles were too tight. Now, they decided it may be something musculo-skeletal.

We have been freaking out (a little, and by we, I mean me.) What will this mean? Will there be issues? Will this delay him? Hinder him later?

We saw a very nice orthopedist today and they did x-rays and conformed he is fine! Yay! There is some hooking of the foot and something called tibular tension - both cause his foot to turn a little inward, but it should correct itself. What a relief!

(And, I'd like to add the Children's Hospital and it's staff are awesome and I'm thankful to live in such an awesome area that has such access to such amazing facilities.)

Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love it - the lights, buying presents, Black Friday shopping. I love being with my family, Christmas dinner, stockings, and the happy faces on Christmas morning as they see what Santa left.

This year, Christmas morning was almost cancelled because Jackson snuck out of bed on Christmas eve and saw his present! We told him Santa may take it back... when it was there still in the morning, Ben explained he caught Santa before he took it back and asked him to please leave it!
