You go girl! Sounds like y'all have quite the project going on! Hope you got the heat pump installed sans issues and you slept like a baby after all that work! May I stop by and visit your little lambs when they come along? They're soooo cute!!!

Hope it's ok to ask here if anyone knows of a treatment for this condition.
I personally don't know anything about Ehlers-Danlos but I've seen surgical procedures performed to stabilize joints due to chronic dislocation. That being said, I've never seen them performed on someone so young. Most likely, due to the fact that their bones are still growing....
Has she ever been fitted for custom braces? The new generation of braces are pretty amazing. They provide comfortable stabilization while allowing ease of motion and they're pretty sleek to boot.
Praying for her. Hopefully she has a good dr. that will weigh all the options as they're appropriate and communicate them well with her & her parents.
