My poor baby
So a couple nights ago I was getting ready to give Talin a bath. I give him one every night as part of his bedtime routine. Anyway, I had him undressed and he was playing and smiling at Brandon and I. I looked at his legs and noticed that his right leg is bigger than his left leg. Then Brandon held his legs straight out and we noticed that the right leg is also longer. We had never even noticed this before! We were so worried that we scheduled an appointment to see his pediatrician. My mother-in-law babysat for me on Monday and she pointed out that when you stand Talin straight up he puts all of his weight on the right leg and lifts up the left one. He just favors that right leg. Well we just got back from the doctor's appointment a couple of hours ago and sure enough, his right leg is 1 inch longer than the left! We are supposed to see a bone specialist at Primary Children's on Friday. He might need to wear a brace or have surgery to correct it. I'm so worried about my baby. You just hope that your children are healthy and have no problems and something like this we never expected. I just hope everything turns out okay and that this can be fixed so that he can live a happy, normal life. :(

Oh Jen, I'm so sorry! I hope everything works out ok, please keep us posted!
I'm so sorry Jen. :( that would be tough. Please let me know if I can do anything
Primary Children's is the best place for things like that. It is so scary when it is your little ones that have to go through things. Espeacially when they are so little.
I'm sorry to hear that! Luckily Primary Children's is the best, and they will take good care of Talin. Caleb has had three different procedures done at Primary's and they are awesome! Please keep us updated, hope all is okay.
Jen! I'm so sorry, that's sad and scary. I hope that the news is better than expected after you see the specialist, but you are in my thoughts and prayers. ~HUG~
