We took Halle to Shriner's Hospital in Salt Lake City to visit a pediatric orthopedic surgeon.
I did not get a very good picture of Shriner's. Halle was refusing and the one picture I did get with her on Brent's shoulders some how was destroyed. I went to upload it and found that some little child of mine decided to crop the picture down so that only Brent's face is showing. I can only guess which child decided to do that!
We left town on Sunday afternoon and returned home Monday after her appointment, but first we made a stop at Liberty park. Halle really wanted to ride the Ferris Wheel, but it was not running!
Halle thought this slide was a little scary at first so Brent had to go down with her.
The apt. went really well. Halle's legs actually looked great. The doctor said she had other patients with rickets and none of them looked as good as Halle. Her right tibia is the bone showing the most problem. This is the reason her right foot turns in and causes her to trip when she runs. If it does not correct itself by the time she is 6 then they would go in and break the bone and straighten it with a plate. The doctor believed there is a good chance it will straighten on it's own. It was probably one of the best doctor appointments we have had, so I am glad we made the trip.
Grandma and Grandpa watched the other 3 kids for us, which made the trip a lot easier. Halle was a little bit of a pill on the trip, she had gotten sick right before we left.
I had to give her a steroid and give her albuterol treatments every 3 hours to keep her from wheezing.
So the trip probably would have been a little more fun if we didn't have a child that asked for vanilla ice cream with sprinkles and than cried because she wanted strawberry ice cream and then when given strawberry ice cream decided she didn't even like ice cream. Then decided she wanted to watch 12 Dancing Princess, and then when 12 Dancing Princess was put in she cried because she did not want to watch that movie. Who fights with themselves over a movie? Halle on steroids! Thank goodness she's back to her sassy nice self. I'm not a big fan of the rollercoaster of emotions that a sickness and some drugs seem to bring on!

That's great news Allison!! That's always fun dealing with a sick child and they don't know what they want. My Michelle had to use a Nebulizer for the first five years of her life every time she got sick, it was not fun, I feel your pain.
