We went back to Daphnee's doctor in SLC on Monday after four weeks of being in the second brace. The ultrasound still showed no change. The hips weren't moving into to the hip socket on their own. This means she will be having surgery to put them in for her. Surgery is scheduled for the end of October (she will be six months old). Then six weeks later we go back for them to recast her hips as she grows and then another six weeks in the cast. Three months total of a body cast from her tummy down to her ankles keeping it open down the middle for a diaper.
The good news is that she doesn't have to be in any kind of brace or harness until surgery. So we have six weeks to cram as many photo shoots and other fun stuff in to our schedule that she won't be able to do once she is casted. Not sure exactly what she is going to be able to wear so I'm sure we will be playing dress up all the time and making sure she gets to wear all of her cute clothes before then.
Daphnee is already loving the freedom with her legs. And she is so fun to take pictures of at this age because she is always smiling. I now have to decide which pictures not to post instead of trying to find one that works.
This last picture is totally a butt shot to see the cute matching flower. I love baby girl clothes!!
