sharing info from end of September (Selma I forgot to post it)

The children's hospital was good today!
They were very thorough and even knew what EDS was:)
They even commented on her loose kneecaps.
They do suspect cranial instability for Ry.
They sent her for neck and complete spine X-rays.
They will review them and refer us to the spine Dr and PT at children's
hospital.
She said PT is a fine line because the joints are hypermobile so we must be
careful there but she has some muscles that are too tight trying to compensate
so we need to find a happy medium.
They are referring her to genealogy too.
She said we don't need genealogy to know she has EDS but it is a piece of the
puzzle.
She also ordered cardio and agreed with me that POTS was something we need to
look into.
So it's a start and I'm excited they didn't look at me clueless!
They also said soccer is probably a bad idea:(

  Hi Mel.....well I told u about my feelings about the soccer....I know she wanted to finish the season, but sometimes it can not be avoided.

Keep us posted on the POTS and other testing she has and the results.....
