Well yesterday we went for our 6 week check up and x-ray. The x-ray showed that Chloes actebelar angle has improved to a bout 24 degrees on both hips and that her hips are still in their sockets. This means that we can now significantly reduce her hours in the brace. We go back for another x-ray in 8 weeks but until then Chloe has 8 hours brace free for 6 weeks (which means she only wears it for naps and night time sleep) and then 2 weeks of 12 hours brace free so that we can get an idea of how her hips are going on their own before her next x-ray, I can't tell you how excited I am about all this. I felt like shouting for joy in the hospital but remembered that their are a lot of sicker kids their and probably pretty sad parents so I didn't want to be too happy if you know what I mean. I think I am most excited about this because it means she will finally be able to crawl forward. She gets up on both knees and rocks back and forwards she is able to go backwards but hopefully without the brace she will regain some strength in her legs and be able to go forwards.
Anyway, sorry about the super selfish post. I hope everyone else is going OK and that you guys also get some good news soon.
