Not arthritis... snap, crackle, POP!
OK, we have gotten some results... it is NOT arthritis. When we saw the local ortho specialist, he had scary fun popping all of Madi's joints in and out... literally. He was shocked. Wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees and ankles... pop in/pop out. "POP"! He said, "gosh, that isn't supposed to happen". Xrays revealed that her joint alignment is like a mountain top... all over the place, especially obvious when looking at her finger alignment in an x ray.
SO, we believe it is all just another new-found part of her syndrome (Condraddi Hunermann, very rare). He said to let her do activities, as much as possible, without a brace... then ice and and brace after. He said that she might need to start sleeping with wrist braces so that she doesn't roll over and break her wrist in her sleep, as her wrist joints are soooo loose.
And she signed up for tennis team. Unbelievable. Like I can stop her.
We are going forward with the diet plan anyways (so much for mommy popularity!) ... Madi says "HI" to Janey... misses HER!
Just wanted to let y'all know whazzup.
Thanks much, R
