Visits

The visit out at Scottish Rite went good. The x-rays showed no further development with the OI. Eventhough it is still noticeably present in the long bones of her body. (Arms and Legs) it wasn't shown to be in any other bones. There were no new fractures or breaks. Praise God! I was glad Brett was there to ask any questions that he had and she answered every single one. She said that Alyssa should live a pretty normal life. (Might have more breaks than others). We just don't have a future soccer or softball star. She can't play any contact sports of any kind and NO TRAMPOLINES. The doctor said that she checked the Scottish Rite database to see if she had had any other breaks since our last visit and was shocked to see that we hadn't considering that Alyssa is so active.~ you're telling me~ She suggested that we get Alyssa into some kind of activity (swimming, dance, acting, modeling) early so she would have some kind of interests so she wouldn't feel like the was missing something later. Bottom line: The good news is that it hasn't showed up in any other part of the body. We have to follow-up with the orthopedic in December and he will decide when the next x-rays should be (probably in 12 months).
