Charlotte has hip dysplasia!

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

So...soooo....sorry I have been absent. Life has been full of ups and downs.

Charlotte is now 7 weeks old. At her 4 week checkup the doc felt a click in her hip. We had an ultrasound conducted shortly thereafter. The results came back inconclusive. We had a repeat one done yesterday. Pediatrician called me yesterday afternoon confirming she has mild hip dysplasia. We are being referred to an orthopedic surgeon (pediatric); we go on the 19th. Doc said to expect for her to walear a cloth harness for 4-6 months. Google it and cry with me please .

We will get through this and I am so thankful they caught it early, but who the heck knewy daughter, not dood, would have this ???


Sorry I have been away but life has been nuts. I lost my godmother to triple negative breast cancer in October. And life with a newborn is tough. But Tacky and Peri are excellent. They are in bed with me know while daddy feeds Charlotte a bottle. Mommy enjoyed some Cabernet tonight :).

I have missed y'all more than words can express.

Allyson, so sorry to hear this news, you will have your hands full.  Prays will be with you and your family.  This is going to be harder on you that it will be for your baby..Someday you will look back on this and it will only be a memory.

I'm sorry for your news.  :(    I have no idea how this impacts a persons life development etc.  But it must surely be madding.  So very sorry.  I dont know much, but I recall my mother telling me I had to be "in a brace while I was little"   I have no idea, maybe it was something like this?  Certainly I dont remember such early stuff, but I guess something was wrong, but here I am never worrying around if I could do things or something.  Again, I'm a dummy on this issue, but it would seem like Charlotte has a fabulous mom.  It will be ok, I'm sure.  You take care and give that baby a big hug from me.
