Our visit to the Ortho Surgeon

We went to an Orthopedic Surgeon in Pocatello, ID today. He has actually worked some with Arthro kids, but it has been awhile and it was actually at the Seattle Children's Hospital. Already he has done more than any other doctor we have seen for Victoria. He is a hand and elbow specialist. He took xrays of her wrists, shoulders and elbows today. We learned through those that Victoria's joints are perfectly formed and that the ability for bending of the joints is there, bone wise. It is now just a matter of working with her ligaments and tendons to gain the range of movement she needs. He is going to do some research and we are going to meet with him again on August 6 to see what ideas he comes up with. So far, we have the highest hopes with this doctor. He seems to actually care about her and wants to help her, not just treat her. Cross your fingers for us and keep little Victoria in your prayers. We are going to get this figured out! :)
