PZ, i know i already posted on fb but just wanted to pop by & offer another

as i said, a friend from MG had to get a brace for her DD. that was just before she was 5 months i think. whilst it wasn't great for her DD, i think she suffered more than her DD. she was really emotional at first & had quite a tough time. but she got through it okay & felt better for having acted quickly & getting it sorted now rather than having to worry later. i think she also appreciated it all happening before her DD was old enough to remember & before she was mobile. she did say that bathing her DD was tough as they couldn't take the brace off but they got used to sponge baths pretty quickly.

her DD was in the brace for 6-8 weeks & in hindsight, it didn't seem like such a long time. her DD was a later walker than some of the others in our MG/playgroup - but at the same time her language is excellent so i don't think it was anything other than a typical case of one thing developing before another. her DD is a super jumper now (at 2 yrs 4 months), walks & runs like any of the others & you'd never know that there was ever a problem.

hang in there hun, i hope the time passes quickly
