She is far braver than her dad and I and has really done us proud today. @oliviaoblivia: congrats on your gorgeous new little babe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-in-the-hospital-for-baby-to-see-the-orthopedic-dr#post-500318 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 13:22:16 +0000 oliviaoblivia 500318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stay strong mama! I'm glad her percentages are good.<br /> My mom and I were going through my old baby clothes yesterday and found the harness I had to wear. I don't know how severe my dysplasia was but I do know that in the 31 years since I have been 100% fine. Your baby girl is going to grow up strong and won't remember this at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-in-the-hospital-for-baby-to-see-the-orthopedic-dr#post-500274 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 12:56:32 +0000 Boogs 500274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's so great she's adjusting well and her percentages are so great! Keep the faith, things will be okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-in-the-hospital-for-baby-to-see-the-orthopedic-dr#post-500259 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 12:48:52 +0000 PrincessBaby 500259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: I'm so glad she's adjusting to it and still smiling! I know it hurts your heart though and I'm sending you and her both big hugs:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-in-the-hospital-for-baby-to-see-the-orthopedic-dr#post-500246 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 12:38:48 +0000 travelgirl1 500246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: @Jenn23: @Mrs. Jacks: Thank you! She was SO upset last night but she had a really good sleep and today has been a lot better. She's a lot calmer and isn't thrashing around anymore, she has actually worked out she can still kick a little, andwe've had some good smiles out of her too. What a little superstar! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-in-the-hospital-for-baby-to-see-the-orthopedic-dr#post-500019 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 09:00:09 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 500019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She'll get used to it. I know it must be breaking your heart right now, but keep your eye on the long term outcome and you'll get through it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-in-the-hospital-for-baby-to-see-the-orthopedic-dr#post-499986 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 08:11:04 +0000 Jenn23 499986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: 75% is good. Finger crossed! I hope she gets better each day as far as adjusting to it. Hopefully, in the next few days she won't mind the harness as much! I'm glad that the nursing soothes her. Hang in there!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-in-the-hospital-for-baby-to-see-the-orthopedic-dr#post-499792 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 00:56:49 +0000 Andrea 499792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww, hope she gets used to it soon. Great job today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-in-the-hospital-for-baby-to-see-the-orthopedic-dr#post-499696 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 23:03:10 +0000 travelgirl1 499696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chrispygal: @Smurfette: you're right, it's really good news. It's been a rough night though, Ariela's not a fussy baby at all but she's been crying her heart out all night and fighting the harness so hard. Nursing soothes her, thank goodness. Hoping she'll go down in her crib for at least a little bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-in-the-hospital-for-baby-to-see-the-orthopedic-dr#post-499241 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:16:28 +0000 Smurfette 499241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: that is great she already made improvements. 75% are great odds. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-in-the-hospital-for-baby-to-see-the-orthopedic-dr#post-499231 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 19:12:31 +0000 chrispygal 499231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: That's great news! 75% is great odds! LO will get used to it quickly, as will you. You're both doing great!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-in-the-hospital-for-baby-to-see-the-orthopedic-dr#post-498690 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:46:43 +0000 travelgirl1 498690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you all so much. The doctor thought she had improved since the first ultrasound just before Christmas, and doesn't think she will need surgery, fingers crossed. They fitted her in a Pavlik harness and will check it every week. They've given it a 75 per cent chance of working, which is really quite good. She cried when they put her in it but to be honest I cried a lot more, she was seriously brave. She cries when she wakes up and realises she's strapped up but she's breastfed once already and hasn't been anywhere near as upset as I thought. Now fingers crossed that it works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-in-the-hospital-for-baby-to-see-the-orthopedic-dr#post-498669 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:41:39 +0000 hilsy85 498669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck hun!

I know this has been weighing heavily on you!!

She has a dislocated hip on one side so will definitive need some kind of treatment, just praying it's only the harness. </p> <p>@chrispygal: aw thank you. It has helped seeing the other mums here in the waiting room and chatting to them. have tried really hard not to cry but not doing very well, lol. DH is here too though do when we do get seen I know he'll be great. Good luck for your daughter's ultrasound too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-in-the-hospital-for-baby-to-see-the-orthopedic-dr#post-497874 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 11:48:36 +0000 Smurfette 497874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww, I am sorry. Thinking about your and your LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-in-the-hospital-for-baby-to-see-the-orthopedic-dr#post-497846 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 11:42:13 +0000 chrispygal 497846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I must have ESP. I just posted on your wall this morning to see how you were doing. Hugs!! Seeing the harness and putting it on my LO was so incredibly hard. You will cry and feel bad, but it's ok. Really, my LO had no issues with it and really was just fine. It's harder on mom and dad. I am hoping for a positive experience for you! Please post an update when you get out.</p> <p>P.S. I go for x-ray follow up on Feb 5th for LO and am nervous about it. I know how it feels! xo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-in-the-hospital-for-baby-to-see-the-orthopedic-dr#post-497834 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 11:38:45 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 497834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww I'm so sorry :-( We had to see an pediatric orthopaedic before we left the hospital as well. DD's hips were really tight and her foot was bent in a funny way. It turned out that we didn't need a brace for her, so I'm hoping that you won't need one either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-in-the-hospital-for-baby-to-see-the-orthopedic-dr#post-497826 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 11:37:13 +0000 T.H.O.U. 497826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww I am so sorry. </p> <p>My brother had a club foot. We had to go visit a lot of doctors for him and he had surgery. He is now very athletic and grew up just fine! </p>
