The Morton Family Blog

Thanks for taking time and stopping by and reading our family blog. As a family of 6 we are busy and hope to encourge everyone to understand that everyone is different in his or her own way and that people shouldn't be looked at for their size but for their selves. Our youngest daughter Jalinn was born with dwarfism and we hope to raise awareness for the Little People community.

Ortho Visit


Well we had Jalinn's first ortho visit today. It went rather well. They took xray of her legs and said they look great. We just have to watch her lower back. A portion of her spine is sticking out so we go back in October for xray on the spine and a visit with the doctor. It was an early appt but well worth it.


I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day over the week. I did...the kids all made me cards and Jason took Hunter fishing for a few hours so I could just have some time to myself. We then went to Mom and Dad's for a bbq with the rest of the family. I love my crazy family.

    Sounds like a good ortho visit and a great Mother's Day. As far as the spine, as long as it is flexible (gives when you push on it when she is laying on her belly), it should be okay, and it does straighten out as the children begin walking - and then you get the lordosis (sway-back). Love the picture, Jalinn is too cute!

    Glad to hear that the appointment went well!

    Caitlyn had kyphosis when she was young but it straightened out on it's own once she started walking.

    Time to yourself on Mother's Day - what a wonderful gift! :-)
