Hi all

We had our x-ray and went to the ortho surgeon today. While Scarlett's right hip is still OK, he said that it is only improving slowly, so it's another 3 months of night time bracing before seeing him again. I asked what happens if she is still not progressing then and he said we just keep using the brace up until she is 18 months (she is 9 months today) and then the absolute last resort is surgery only if nothing else works. He sounded pretty optimistic that the brace will still do it's job in time. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Of course I'm a bit disappointed, but the main thing is that Scarlett is still happy and healthy. She has just started wanting to stand up and has been pulling herself up. The doc said that if she wants to stand alot we'll have to try to get her to do it in her brace as it is not good for her to put weight on her legs if they are close together. I know she won't like that much!

Anyway I hope everyone else and their bubs are doing well
