Park City and Ortho Doctor
Peyton had a doctor’s appointment at Primarys so
we decided to take everybody and head to Park City afterwards. There is a Lego exhibit at the Kimball Art
Center right now. There were only a
handful of lego creations but they were so cool. I put Mason in charge of the camera and I
think he took a picture of every single creation! After the exhibit, we walked down Main Street
and found an ice cream shop. It was fun
just doing something with the kids!
So, Peyton’s doctor’s appointment… It was with an Orthopedic specialist at
PCMC. Back in October, we realized that
Peyton’s hips didn’t line up with each other.
He also has a leg and a foot that are longer and bigger than the other
side. We took him to the pediatrician
and he referred us to an Ortho specialist.
We finally got in to see the specialist.
They took x-rays of Peyton’s legs and hips. Then we talked with the doctor. If we didn’t do anything for this
discrepancy, Peyton would have about an inch difference in the length of his
legs by the time he stops growing. So,
they want to put screws into Peyton’s knee on the long leg to slow down that
growth. We will go back in to the doctor
around Peyton’s 7th birthday and reevaluate before we do
anything. There is always something new
with Peyton! He likes to keep us on our
toes!
