Hip Dysplasia Update

Elena went to the doctor last week for her first check-up after her cast was removed. Her doctor examined her hips and did an x-ray.
He thinks that her hips are in place, but they are still dysplastic. Meaning that the socket isn't growing around the ball of the hip. For now, she'll continue to wear her brace 16 hours a day and we'll go back in 3 months and repeat the x-ray.
We're cautiously optimistic that things will start to improve without further intervention.
