we had graham's ortho appointment yesterday. all our children will likely be followed for their first year to make sure they don't have hip dysplasia since Marit's was so severe. anyway, our wonderful orthopedist took one look at graham's beautiful x-ray and said with a grin "that's all i need to see. he doesn't need me until he breaks his arm." though this is what we expected, we do not want to take this wonderful grace for granted. we are so thankful that graham has healthy femoral heads and acetabulums and we praise God for it. isn't he just precious?
