If you have visited here before, you can probably see that I have changed the name of the blog again. I started blogging at 4URuthie to tell the story of our journey to adopt our 1st daughter. I changed it to Mountains for Maggie when we were praying for God to move mountains on behalf of our 2nd daughter. Well now it is no longer just Ruthie’s or Maggie’s stories. It is now our family's story, and the stories of those we share life with, as we Conquer Mountains together. Both ConqueringMountains.net and 4URuthie.blogspot will lead here.

Jack's Gait Lab

Jack spent 3 hours today in a gait lab at Shriners Hospital for children. They studied his gait biomechanics, muscle function, foot placements,  functional joint mobility, and even metabolic output.  It really was very impressive.



We are trying to decide what is going to be the best treatment option for him.


And it is supposed to take several weeks to get all of the results.


Today I am super thankful for the people at Shriners and their commitment to helping my boy be more functional.
