16.9.13 - JS was
feeling unwell since last week and has been taking salt water for his sore
throat. But eventually he was down with bad sinus with nose blockage. It was
bad and I insisted that he goes to the doctor. So, I took him to clinic 2 days
ago. As the Indian doctor was friendly, I also consulted him over my boy's bony
chest. He told him to take off his shirt and he diagnosed his case as a slight
deformation of the rib that is a little similar to pigeon chest. However he
also pointed out another issue that my boy has, his back bone is not in the
correct posture that should be, straight that is. He showed me and yes, it was
not straight. It slightly tilted to the right side which is not supposed to.
This problem is called Scoliosis which could lead to back pain at old age. He
told my boy to try to walk straight and don't hump. He also told him not to
carry heavy load on one side of the shoulder but to balance it out on both
sides of his shoulder to avoid his problem from getting worse. Hmm, am I
worried for him. But, it's better to know early than be sorry later. Now that
he knows his problems, he has better change his habits from now on. I can help
out by reminding him but it is important that he helps himself. I pray that my
boy will be fine and get better. Lord, please bless my boy.
