Today we went to the pediatrician to check on all of Brie's bruising and cuts. We all came to the conclusion that she very likely has something called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. We will see a genetist to confirm it. It involves having very loose joints and easy bruising. I very likely have it as well although she is likely more affected. There are really no long term problems with it, just the easy bruising and sometimes dislocations of joints. There is really no treatment for the easy bruising. We discussed trying some soccer shin guards for the winter to see if it allows them to heal.
