Knock Knees

So, in my previous post I had indicated that the doctor was concerned with Remy's legs bowing inward and referred us to a specialist.  On Friday he had his initial consult with an orthopedic specialist at Gillette's.  The doctor said it's known as knocked knee and that it's not uncommon.  She was a little worried because we've noticed it since he was about a year old and it has gotten worse.  Most kids will get it from ages 3-5.  She did an x-ray just to be sure there wasn't something to be concerned about and his growth plates and bones look great.  If it doesn't go away on its own we'll have to come back but she's confident he'll outgrow it.

Here's a nice embarrassing picture for Remy's graduation party.  He put his shirt on all by himself, however he put it on upside-down.  But it shows knocked-knees.



And the x-ray.  Remy saw it and said "hey, is that my butt?".  Bahahaha.  He was really nervous about getting an x-ray and wanted me to hold his hand the whole time.  Sweet boy still needs his momma.
