but with one little exception. Yesterday our day was busy running here and there and yet filled with some wonderful news.
Carter had an appointment with the orthopedic Dr. A few weeks ago at PT, his therapist discovered the curve in his spine. She brought it to our attention assuming we were aware of it, but we were not. We brought him to his pediatrician who then ordered the x-ray. The radiologist reported two curves, both at a 26 degree angle....not exactly good for a 10 year old. So basically his spine is an *S* shape. So, yesterday when we went to the Dr. we expected him to tell us Carter would need a brace.....but he didn't!! The angle of his spine is not as bad as the radiologist reported (I guess rather safe than sorry) and we don't need to do any treatment at this time. Thank you Lord! We were so happy to hear that. We will have another x-ray in 6 months and just continue to keep a close eye on it.
For some more great news....my nephew, Henry James, arrived at 10:25 am weighing in at 10 pounds 4 ounces! WOW! After Carter's Dr.s appointment we were able to stop in and visit baby, mom and dad. Mom is a bit sore but doing great and Henry is so darn cute!! He really doesn't seem like a newborn considering his size. He's just so pudgy! We're all thankful for the safe delivery and a beautiful healthy baby Henry!
Now for the exception.... Connor got his braces on and has a very sore mouth! Poor guy! It took them over 2 hours to get them on and he spent the rest of the day hanging out on the couch. He can't eat much of anything yet, except soup, and Advil just isn't helping much. I'm sure another day and he will feel better!
Here is Hannah holding her baby brother for the first time! Precious!

Wow! That's one big baby, nice and healthy!
Hello friend! Glad to read that all is well. Sorry to read that the braces hurt so much. KT gets hers on in January. She is a certified pain wimp ... so it should be a whiny time. :) I'll have to get the Advil ready .... for me!
