Yesterday Logan had a doctors appointment with an orthopaedic doctor to check on his back. He was born with a hemivertebrae at his 10th thoracic vertebrae.
Last year I noticed that there was a slight curve in his back so I had his pediatrician look at it on his 4 year checkup. He said that there is a slight curvature so we need to see a specialist.
After looking at his xray the doctor said that it is a 10 degree curve as the result of the hemivertebrae. He doesn't think that it is a true hemivertebrae because there is still a rib that is attached at that location so it is attached to a piece of bone. Right now we don't need to do anything and the doctor said that he probably won't ever need to do anything but we have to follow up with him every year. He cleared him for all sports and activities but the final clearance would be up the cardiologist. So at the end of September Logan has a cardiologist appointment. I will give another update then.
