Maddi's middle name is changing to $40 co-pay--why can't this child just have issues that require a visit to the pediatrician? Not Maddi, she's always been extra special--needs a specialist in every corner of St. Louis.

Today we took a trip The Spine Center for a scoliosis check up. I said my prayers last night that her curve would improve and at most stay the same...so much for my prayers being heard the way I intended. Instead her curve has increased in degree. She is now at 23*. We will return in 6 months if the curve has increased 5* more they will brace her.

Eyes: almost there
Spine: ever changing
Teeth: preparing for braces in two weeks

I just know for all the crookedness in Maddi's being God has to have something extraoredinarily special planned and waiting for her!
