Wow, I was just struck by that latest pic — it looked like ME when I was younger! I never thought of my chest as going IN, but I considered the bottom row or two of my ribs to be sticking OUT (also common in EDS, I understand). I guess you know I never needed to have any surgery for it, but before I became sick and was diagnosed with EDS, I always wondered why my ribs were “different”. I know it is hard to decide what to worry about, and what to “let slide”, but it sounds like you have a great doctor. That’s HUGE! BTW, it’s so sweet that you care so much about your son, my friend. that is one BEAUTIFUL boy, BTW… 🙂
