Update on the Hip

Well the appointment wasn't great, but no where near bad either. I wish she was all fixed but not quite yet. At least we are hoping she is on her way. The doctor has decided that he will wait another three months to see what her little hip decides too.

X-ray revealed that while it isn't perfect just yet, it is better. Since it has shown some improvement he feels we need to wait and see if it continues on that path the next 12 weeks. Thought is that these upcoming weeks will be critical to her development as she will begin to put weight on her hip when she sits up and when she begins to crawl and/or cruise. Then the hip should begin to settle in more, which way it goes is the question, although he feels it is on the right track. Worst case if it doesn't get better or worse next 12 weeks in that she will then wear a brace just to sleep. That I can deal with, of course we hope we don't even have to go there.

So now we wait for another 3 months. That will drive me nuts, but it could have been worse. Thanks again for all the caring calls and texts and emails!!!!
