27 days to go

27 days til we drop 80ft! Phillip Butterfield Shane Jeffery Kate Davies please sponsor us at www.justgiving.com/mpsabseil
Today I will tell you about Corey's knobbly knees!
He has knock knees - there is approx a 10cm gap between his ankles when his knees are together. Corey's bones haven't developed properly and he will have surgery within the next few years to straighten them up. This involves putting plates in his legs in 4 places to stop his bones growing on 1 side therefore allowing the other side to 'catch up' and straighten his legs.
We see an orthopaedic surgeon every 12 months at Bristol Children's Hospital.
Corey wakes up in the night sometimes, complaining that his knees hurt, usually after soft play!
