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.)
