Crooked Booty...................

Not many people will get the reference of that title. Just you Morgan. It is a song by The Dungeon Family that is really funny. I actually don't remember all of the words, just the crooked booty part. I know I am strange! But everytime I think about scoliosis I think of that song.
I do realize that scoliosis is not a joke. Jeff has it and he almost had to wear a brace for it when he was young. A friend I spoke with yesterday talked about her niece having to have surgery for scoliosis. She felt so much better after she had the surgery and also was about two inces taller! I do not mean to make light of the issue.
We did hear back from the doctor concerning Ben's x-rays for his scoliosis. He is OK for now but will have to have bi-yearly x-rays to watch it. The doctor did not mention a brace or surgery so we are very thankful.
We also heard back about his bone scan. He is, in fact, a 9 year old boy. The good news is that we will be able to use these x-rays to have his birth certificate changed so that he can officially be 9 years old in America. The bad news is that Aiden will not be pleased with this. Even if Ben is only 6 months older, he is still bigger than Aiden.

Just remind A that B is only older than him for 1/2 of the year and the rest of the time they are the same age!!! See you tomorrow!
