Kennady's Leg!

Well as many of you have heard or may not have heard, we took Kennady to the doctor this week to look at her leg. While there the doctor really didnt know what it would be so she had us go and get an X-Ray and they would let us know the next day what was going on. So we talked to the doctor the next day and she didnt know what it was but they needed us to come in the next day to look at her once more. So today we went in and she said that she didnt see any of the spots she was looking for, which is good so now we are suppose to go see a doctor to see if it is something genetic. After they find out if it is or not then we will go to Shriners and see a specialist and then we will have an MRI and they will decided from there what will happen. When we talked to Doctor Olson he said that he has never seen this before and that it is very rare. They gave us a couple of options that they thought Shriners might do which is they might have to break her leg and then reset it, thats only if it isnt genetic, if its genetic and they break her leg then it will grow back the way it is now. The other option is they will put her in a leg brace to make it straight again. We wont know anything for awhile now we have an appointment in April and then we should know more, but we will keep everyone updated as we know more. This is the X-Ray of her leg the right one has both bones bowing out.
