Hip Follow-up Appt!

Savannah had her first follow up appointment since she has been in the brace. I was really hoping to find out more at this appointment in regards to whether or not she will need another surgery, but we are still in the dark for now.

On the bright side of things, x-rays showed that her hip was still in place and everything looked great. The dr. said it was still too early to tell whether or not she will require surgery when she's 18 months. However, he did tell us he would probably have a good idea of it at her next follow-up appointment. *sigh*

My nerves went up by a mile when he said that because I am so tired of anticipating finding out one way or the other, and yet it's not long now until we will finally know what is next in store. Her next appointment is June 6!

I am still praying for a miracle because I don't know how I will be able to stand it if she has to have this surgery. I can't even stand to think about it, so I just try to put it out of my mind day after day. It's really a hard thing to do, but I just keep trying to do it!
