Waiting...

That is what we're doing these days. We took Pay to the doctor yesterday to learn more about her scoliosis. It turns out that she does have infantile scoliosis with a 25degree curve in her back. They consider a person to have scoliosis if they have a curve of 10 degrees or more. Currently with a curve of 25 she is right on the border of treatment or just observation. The doctor said that a lot of the times babies grow out of this, so before we do anything else they have asked us to wait. Wait six more months before we take her back and get another x-ray to measure the change. We are praying for a change to be seen as far as her back becoming straighter because if it gets more curved than we will need to get her an MRI and probably have her casted. Yup, that's right a body cast every 2 months or so to get it back in line. So, we are waiting and trusting in our mighty God that he will allow her back to grow straight. We will wait on his perfect timing and in the meantime we will wont worry (which is so hard for me to do) because it is in the waiting the we have an opportunity to grow closer to the One who crated our Payter, to the One who knows the plans for her life. We are waiting.This is what her back looks like in an x-ray. Pretty crazy huh?
On a different note we got to see family this weekend to celebrate birthdays and B's brother earning his Ph. D (pretty awesome!) from a college I refuse to name on this blog :)! B also got to do a duathalon with his brother; I thought this picture was so cute!It was another day of firsts for Pay as she finally got to ride in the grocery cart with her sister! I don't know which one was more excited!
