I realised with a jolt this week that I hadn't actually updated my Blog with the good news we received back at Katelyn's six-month check-up. I mean, I'd updated my Facebook friends, but neglected to make note on my Blog THAT WE ARE OFF THE DDH HOOK...well, until next January, anyway.
We left our appointment with dazed, silly smiles on our faces and shaking our heads about how lucky we've been.
Katelyn's hip is stable and the blood supply to the area has either re-established or was more visible in this round of x-rays.
The surgeon is very happy with her progress, and we left with instructions to book back in to see him in a year's time. He was almost apologetic about our having to have annual checkups at least until she's ten years' old - but, seriously, who cares!?!!?!? When we started this journey almost a year ago, the surgeons made it very clear that this was the start of a long relationship with the pediatric orthopaedic clinic. Yes, the parking at the John's a pain in the you-know-what, but it's a small price to pay for our beautiful girl to remain free of pain and be able to enjoy an active, happy childhood.
Baby Ballet, here we come!
