One of the things we knew when we first brought the boys home was that their early life nutrition was not good. Their joints are not good, they are severely double jointed, in places that I didn't even know there were joints and I have never seen toes look like theirs.
Their appearance reminds me of my grandparents arthritic joints at 85 years of age. They look like they hurt. They both say they don't (right now). I can remember popping my knuckles when I was younger and thinking how could this possibly hurt later.....well to pop a knuckle now just about makes me cry.....I can't imagine their hands and feet and knees when they are 85. I can hope that advances in medicine will give them some relief when they need it. I can also hope that they stop torturing me by walking up to me to bend their fingers backwards, sideways and popping miscellaneous body pieces.....no meds for that....just a mom growl.
