Chloes Story
Hi girls....well here is Chloes Story
I was in the bath with her around 4 months old when I noticed a clicking sound, my heart sank as I new what was coming, I took her to the health nurse who checked her hips and she told me to take her straight to the doctors, so I did that, the GP had then straight away rang the Marter Childrens Hospital to get a referal, that afternoon they rang me for an appointment the next week
November 25th 2008: Ortopedic Appointment, 2day Chloe was fitted with a Pavlik Harness, was a bit upset seeing her go into it, but she done well....
November 27th 2008: Chloes first hip ultrasound, results: Angles 35 degrees and 40 at the time her left hip was the worst....
December 9th 2008: Ortho. App. still no change
December 16th 2008: X-ray appointment
December 19th 2008: Ultrasound Appointment
December 23rd 2008: Orto. App. Left hip Ok right hip not Ok
Chloe then developed a really bad rash (not good) its been 9weeks (27th Jan 2009) rang the Marter and they told me to take the harness off her, as the rash comes first at this stage.... She cant move her right leg, kicks her left like anything
January 30th 2009: Ultasound and X-ray, still not better, something about soft tissue in the right hip socket
Well she is now 6months and 3weeks her next Ortho. App. is on Tuesday the 3rd of Feb. really not looking forward to it, they (drs.) told me last app. that the next step would be a spica, I just feel like its my fault and I just want to cry all the time when I look at her.....I feel so bad and its only going to get worse when the day comes for surgery and cast..... Thats Chloe's story for now..... Take Care All xxxxxxx
