- She had a standing X-ray and the current rough estimated difference is 2 cm.
- Dr. Scott said the difference doesn't grow much at this age. (Unlike from baby to age 9 where it grew from 1.5 cm to 5 cm.)
- She will have a CT scan in 6 months which will give a much more accurate measurement of her actual difference.
- He mentioned for the 4th visit in a row that in "a year or two" we can slow the growth of her right leg to make her legs even closer in length. That is a MUCH more simple process than growing the shorter leg.
- He said she can wear a lift on her shoe if it makes her "feel or function" better.
- He likes the way her foot looks.
- He thinks we are close to the end of PT and had a good suggestion of starting to space out our visits more.
- Next visit is in 6 months. WooHoo!
