Hi there all,
I'm new to this! We have just been given a diagnosis of DDH with our baby girl Lucy, 8months, and have scheduled surgery for 7.4.08...really soon! Kind of in a head spin and freaking out somewhat. Lucy has right hip dislocation, needs an open reduction (???I'm probably using all the wrong words, sorry!) arthrogram, aductor snip and cast. It has all just hit us really, and we're launching into this new world of surgery and treatment. Any words of wisdom and encouragement gratefully accepted! Practical tips on living and coping with the casts and braces, especially that nappy situation!
Cheers everyone,
