Thanks Corelly and Madcat for your messages, I am so glad I found this forum!

Corelly, how is your little girl now? Are her hips "normal" and not requiring further treatment? After the spica cast what brace did she go into? How was the state of her legs once out of the cast?

Madcat, how long after your daughter's first op did you find out that she needed another? Was she in a lot of pain post op? How long did she stay in hospital for?

PinkFairy, I feel for you, the waiting is terrible but time really flys and before you know it September will be here. I had to wait nearly 6 weeks from the time we had our appt with pediatric ortho surgeon til date of op (this wednesday), so know what you are going though. I will let you know how we go.

Thanks again guys, chatting really helps!
