We had our 3 month follow up appointment with Dr. Price last week... Looks like the 'good' hip is having trouble staying in place because the hip socket is a little straight vs. curved. So in Jan,when they operate on his left hip, they will 'chisel out a little of the bone' on the right side also. At this point I am assuming you are grimacing just as we were, but the Dr. assures me it is not as bad as is sounds. We are also going to start physical therapy, per the ortho and pediatrician to try to get him caught up on his motor (crawling/walking) skills. His lower body strength is a little behind because he was in a cast, and his left leg is measurably shorter than the right.
However, he is getting pretty good at rolling over, and in the last few days loves standing while holding your hands and can even pull himself up with a little help! He has learned the 'pincher grasp' and is enjoying feeding himself-almost as much as he loves throwing his newly grasped food on the floor.
