Hip Appointment

Today Alexis had her followup ultrasound and appointment for her hip. Because she was born breech her right hip is not completely formed around the ball as it should be. For the last two weeks she has had to wear a hip brace to help stabilize and get it to form properly. She doesn't seem to mind it, although it is a bit of a pain for her parents. She will have to wear it for four more weeks. Her ultrasound today showed some improvement and the doctor was pleased. We go for a brace check in 2 weeks and then another ultrasound in 4. I am counting down the days until she gets to take this thing off.
