Multiplier Prediction

There is an application available for my iPad called "Multiplier".  It's icon is below:
During the monthly LLD chat that Dr. Herzenberg and Dr. Standard host, they mentioned this app as a tool that can predict the limb discrepency in adult hood, based on a child's current stats.  So, I figured if they're supportive of it, I would give it a try.

I had to select Femur, Female, input Elsie's DOB and the current discrepency (8cm).  This spit out a calculation of 12.4 inch discrepency at full growth.  Matt and I obviously aren't expert measurers, and we aren't trusting Elsie's future to an iPad app.  However, it's the first prediction we've got.  Unfortunately, it is a steep difference.  Within the next few months Dr. Nowicki and Dr. Standard should be able to give us more percise predictions, as well as what the implications of such predictions are.  It is a neat tool though.

Change of Doctors

Originally, we wanted to see Dr. Paley and shared our brief communication with him. However, since then we did finally make the decision to switch to Dr. Stanard and Dr. Herzenberg of RIAO in Baltimore. We're seeizng Dr. Standard on May 10th and I'm very excited!
