The "brace"
I have been trying to figure out the odds of having a baby that has as many things unique about him as our little Will. He was born at 36 weeks, breech, with a tooth, spent 12 days in the NICU, had a PFO (heart thing), has an umbilical hernia, and hip dysplagia! He is definitely ONE OF A KIND and we just love the love right out of him!
We went and saw the orthopedist this week and he fit Will into this harness/brace thingy. Will's right hip doesn't for correctly into it's socket, mostly because he was breech inside my tummy with his feet right over his head. It just didn't form correctly. So this brace is what is used to get it back into place. He has to wear it for 8-12 week... boo! But this is much better than having long term problems in the future, so we'll do what ever is asked. And honestly, he looks sort of cute in it and is still my little bug!
