Audrey's Hip Update

Right afterAudrey was born the doctors noticed a click in her hip joints. As a precaution they sent us to an Orthopedist to have her hips checked out when she was about 6 weeks old. The U/S showed her hips were not developed correctly so she had to wear a Pavlik harnes for 4 weeks in September to help the socket curve around the hip ball. Not many people got to see her in it but we wanted to show it to answer all the questions we got. She really didn't seem to mind it, but it got old having to dress her in only dresses or onesies - no pants! Here she is with and without clothes, looking pretty generally happy.



The good news - her hips are now doing great and she doesn't have to go back in until January now. Yeah!
