Hi

Firstly, I'm so sorry for all of you who are going through this. My little girl's hip is not dislocated so we didn't need surgery. I cried for 2 days just with the brace (stupid, but I can't help it). I can only imagine what you are feeling.

My daughter was diagnosed with hip dysplasia at 5 months. She wore a brace for 6 weeks and I was so excited when the doctor said we could move to nights only as it was 99% fixed.

We went back for our six week review yesterday and it has reverted. It is now worse than before and she is now in a rhino brace full time for 8 weeks initially. I feel really guilty as we went away over January and her brace stopped fitting, so we could not put it on. She only wore it for 3 out of the 6 weeks at night. I think I've set her back. She was sleeping on her side and rolling over, feet in her mouth. So angry.

Has anyone else had their diagnosis reversed?

Nat
