The U of M International Adoption Clinic reviewed today's update and was encouraged by the mobility "Sweeti" still has following her surgery. Her height/weight are still below the normal curve, but continue to be proportionate to her previous measurements, and her head circumference continues to be in the normal range--very good.
In regard to her feet they say:
"As far as the comment that "her feet point in opposite directions when she stands", I'm wondering if she is standing in a wide based stance with her feet pointing somewhat outward. This is a common stance for children just learning to stand up or just learning to walk. By positioning their feet in a bit of an outward stance, they create a wider base on which to balance. Usually, as they start to get more stable, the feet start to rotate into a position in which they point more directly forward instead of outward."
So, hopefully this is a correct assessment and she will not require any orthopedic intervention.
We met with our LSS social worker this afternoon to update our homestudy and it was completely painless. Not much to update!
