AW me & Natalie-
Since hearing the devastating news of possible hip dysplasia (day 4), to deciding to treat preemptively & getting the Pavlik harness / brace on (day 10), compounded with low birth weight & slow weight gain, exclusively pumping for a while (natalie just couldn't last more than 5 mins breastfeeding), & getting her back on the Breast .. Honestly, it's been tough.
This Tuesday, we went in for an ultrasound. It ended up being Natalie's worst cry sesh, especially when they were pulling and pushing on her little hips. Well, the harness & ultrasound was all worth it..
Natalie has normal hips!
Today's appointment with the pediatric orthopaedic surgeon was possibly one of my happiest days PP. He confirmed the radiologic findings with a physical exam
Natalie is OUT of the harness,
gonna celebrate by getting her IN A DRESS, like the little lady she should be Hehe
Will post that when it happens (right now she's happily naked & nursing.. What we couldn't do with the harness)
