My Little Froggy

So we ended up with the harness. The orthopedist was very confident that this will help things and we go back to Mass General in 2 weeks for another ultrasound and to see him. Hoping for good news then!

ETA: I think it looks worse than it is - the harness is all fabric and velcro and she seems fine in it.

She is super cute. I'm sorry to hear she ended up needing the harness but I'm glad they caught it so early. Hopefully she won't need it long and I bet it is a relief that she has it before knowing what fun crawling can be.

She is such a little cutie. The harness doesn't look as bad as I was imagining. I hope the U/S in 2 weeks shows the improvement the Dr. is looking for.

I didn't think she'd be seen that quickly-- VERY impressive! She looks adorable and that definitely doesn't look too uncomfortable. Can she straighten her legs out? She is so stinking cute!

She is so super adorable, even in her little harness. I'm glad she was able to be seen and evaulated so quickly! Silly question...what will the harness do for her?

so the bones of the hip joint aren't fully formed at birth (for any baby) and the concern with her was basically that her hip joints were too loose. the harness holds her legs in the optimal position for the ball part of the joint to stay in the socket. this will allow the bones to grow correctly and will ensure the socket grows around the ball to hold it in.
