Sprout has bilateral hip dysplasia. Basically, the ball part of her hips aren't totally in the sockets. She goes in for surgery on July 12. They may not actually have to cut into her hip joint, but she will be under a general anesthesia. The recovery is the rough part, as she'll be in a SPICA cast (full body) for 12 weeks. Our doctor was very reassuring and told us that kids recover really quickly and adjust to the cast pretty well. We'll keep everyone updated as things progress.

We would really like to thank our friends and family who have committed their support for this ordeal!
