All the blogs I follow are gone! Am I the only one having this problem? I hope it's just a mistake and they will all be back! YIKES!
At Elliot's 3rd well baby visit her pediatrician discovered a click in her left hip. He said that it could be nothing, but we should get it checked out and he referred us to an orthopedic surgeon at a children's hospital 3 hours away. We had our first appointment with the orthopedic surgeon at the end of July and sure enough he diagnosed her with left hip dysplasia. He assured us it was a common thing and can be treated. The first step in our treatment plan was a Pavlik Harness. This is the actual picture shown on the packaging of the harness. Me and my husband thought "well that baby is happy, it can't be that bad"...wrong! The nurse put it on her and she screamed her head off the whole way through! Then they decided that one was too small and took it off and put a bigger one on her. Oh, it was terrible she was screaming, I was crying. The doctor and nurse kept telling me that it wasn't hurting ...
They should come back. That has happened to me also.
