Hi all

Laura - it is great to hear Harrison is doing so well. Scarlett is in much the same situation having her brace on at night only and she has been an angel about it. She still wakes once a nights so I hope that once we are totally brace free she might sleep through too! She has had it on since she was 3 months old (now 8 months) so it would be nice. Scarlett still isn't rolling over though. I don't know if she wants to anymore. She sits up really well by herself and reaches for things from there so I guess there is not much incentive to roll over. She is also not crawling yet. I don't know if she ever will because she seems to like standing up (with help) but gets frustrated if left on her tummy for too long. I guess I don't want to rush her anyway!

Pipsqueak - as Melissa said this is the place where you will find the answers to your questions. I have found this forum the most invaluable resource especially at the beginning when I thought our world was falling apart. My daughter Scarlett was in a pavlik harness from 3 months and then a dennis brown brace from 5 months. She is now 8 months and allowed out of it during the day. You will see from reading everyone's responses that things will get better and you will learn to adapt your life to Lucy's requirements. Good luck for the surgery and I'm sure you'll let us all know how she goes.
