On June 14th Elliot had an appointment with Dr. Robert Bruce of the Emory University Medical Center. Dr. Bruce is a pediatric orthopedic surgeon who was recommended to us by the folks up at UNC Chapel Hill. We are beginning to make a transition from Chapel Hill to Atlanta for various reasons. One of which is the presence of family in the Atlanta area...
We got to Atlanta on the 13th and spent the night with Aunt Caryn and Uncle Joel. The kids had a ball in their big back yard - following uncle Joel around as he did yard work and made preparations to get the in-ground pool ready for summer. The next morning, we had the pleasure of popping over to Aunt Caryn's cake shop www.carynscakes.com to sample some of the day's decadent fresh baked treats. YUM!
Then, it was over to meet Dr. Bruce. We didn't think anyone could be a 'cool' as Dr. Campion (Chapel Hill) but we walked away from our little meet & greet with Dr. Bruce amply impressed. It was obvious that he knew his business and I was pleased to know that he and Dr. Campion were of like mind when it came to treatments, progression etc. In many ways, it was a second opinion. Elliot thought Dr. Bruce was great. Our next appointment isn't until this fall...and in the meantime, Elliot's been charged with a persistent wearing of his day and night AFOs (braces). Stretching must be done on a daily basis.
It was a good little road trip.
