Chloe left shoulder June 21, 2010

I talked to Chloe's doctor who wanted me to bring in the notes on Natasha hip surgery in with us to see the orthopedic doctor so he compare it with what he finds in Chloe left shoulder. I started the process to get the information on Natasha's surgery so I can bring it with us. Everything takes time so an August appointment looks reasonable to get everything together.

Chloe left shoulder issue! June 20, 2010

Chloe's occupational therapist has been seeing Chloe one time per week since March of 2010 to address decreased range of motion and muscle weakness of her upper extremities. She stated Chloe has made very good progress and has achieved nearly full range of motion of both right and left arms. However , her left shoulder has remained a concern. When passively ranging her left shoulder, mild tightness is felt when moving through horizontal abduction to overhead reaching. She continues to present with incresing weakness on this side and left shoulder elevation.

She recommends that Chloe's left shoulder be examined by a orthopedic doctor to rule out abnormalities of alignment. Our other daughter Natasha has two pins in her hip due to growth plate issues so I will ask the Orthopedic doctor if this could be a growth plate issue? Hopefully we will get answer in August to what this might be.
