Well today we had it confirmed that the youngest is also hypermobile, or as they liked to call it today he has increased mobility, even if the pediatrician laughed and said it was the same as being hypermobile. She was shocked at the extent of his fingers, thumbs and wrists and noted that he also has hypermobile toes! .. I always said they were strange and his fingers defiantly so. Commented that his tiredness for distance walking is more then likely due to him being tired and not just lazy! ( as its normally walking back from school which isn't far. )
So.. what do we do now? well i feel a bit of a relief, it is confirmed, I'm not going crazy, i'm not making it up, and he genuinely has some freaky fingers that even she was like anyone can see his hands are Hypermobile.
Good news is that his hips and knees are not too bad, and shes not concerned with his ankles and feet yet, though personally i will be watching them! He does crack and creak alot, but this is more then likely tendons/ liagaments snapping back into place as she said. We have a good nursery, and fingers crossed he will be heading up into the school where his big sister is at.
We know they are genuinely good with her and they don't push her as far as her joints go. Mr will need help with his fingers and writing eventually but we need to let him try and go through reception year first before asking for help, however we can get help if needed sooner if we have lots of problems! I feel happy we have something there! something to fall to if we need help. As getting help for madam is so hard! but it shows it affects everyone differently! And we weren't fobbed off with "he'll grow out of it! "
She also commented that he was a well behaved and bright boy... yeah ok i can be smug for a minute! but it was a good appointment!!
Then to madam... we are wheat free again, see blog two years ago and we were wheat free for her eczema, now its for her poor tummy that gets very bloated and sore. It is proving difficult but least the drs are listening, Then again they can't argue with evidence in front of them. Something is going on. Throw on top the hearing issue we are looking into.. and we have alot of appointments to deal with. (again)
To help with all this we have booked a well deserved holiday to France.... though it is in August! It is giving me something useful to do in the mean time... learning French! Je suis calme! ... Honestly I am. Not often i can say that.
We must plod on and see what the future brings for the bendy kiddies! lets keep the health issues to a minimum please :)
Bon nuit!
