I wanted to update on Hannah's appointment with the specialist. I REALLY liked this doctor! He said based on a physical exam, her hips feel completely normal. Then he read the sonogram report which said the left hip showed mild dysplasia. He asked why the sonogram was ordered: because she was breech and my mom was born with hip dysplasia. He asked how my mom was treated and I told him that she wore a brace for about 8 months. He recommended repeating the sonogram at the beginning of March. He feels like it will most likely be normal and Hannah's left hip will have tightened on it's own. However, if it has stayed the same or has gotten worse then he wants us to schedule another appointment and he will recommend a brace. Nathan and I feel like this is a very balanced approach. We were also pleased to learn that the radiologist that did her sonogram has been doing his job for MANY years and the specialist think he's a wonderful doctor. He completely trusts his opinion and wrote a request on the order for the repeat sonogram that the same radiologist do this sonogram too. I'll let you know the results of that sonogram when it's completed.
Just a few other random things before I close this post. We had a record 12 inches of snow last week. Nathan still had to work so we didn't get to make a snowman. =( My parents made one and we took our photo with her instead.
Since Hannah was two months old on Friday it was also time to take her photo with the stuffed monkey again. Look how much she's grown.
