Radlyn Update

This little tiny thing has grown into quite the chunker.

It has been fun to watch her grow

Sweet little baby

 Riley getting in some snuggle time too!

We bought this Nap Nanny bed for Radlyn to help her not choke.

It was quite the investment but it seems to have worked wonders

Right before we were to go on our trip to California we took Radlyn up to Primary Children's for an ultrasound of her hips.  Her pediatrician just wanted to make sure she was ok so it was just to verify I guess.  Well we got up there and after the ultrasound the radiologist came in to tell me that she has Bilateral Hip Dysplasia.  Basically both of her hips are completely out of the sockets and back behind.  They think this happened because she was breech.  I was told it was urgent that I get into a pediatric ortho doc so he could get her into a harness.

So into the harness my sweet little girl went - for 2 1/2 long weeks (1/2 of which was on our vacation)

She couldn't wear pants with it, just a onsie and some baby legs.

We were told to come back in when we got back and they would do an ultrasound to see if the harness moved her hips into the right spot.....

 We blessed our little sweetheart when we were in Vegas on Oct.23rd.

It turned out nice and we had lots of family there from both my side and Jason's

This is Radlyn at 3 months old...so cute and smiley!

The next day we went to her check up only to find out the harness had done nothing (and we kept her in it ALL the time) so we moved on to a new plastic harness, that isn't too horrible but only about a 50% chance it will work.  We go in next week Nov.18th, to find out if this did anything.  If not we will wait 6 weeks till she is a little older and then she will have to have surgery where they cut the ligament so they can pull the hips forward, put them back in the socket, and then put her in a half body cast for 3 months!  We are praying this harness works, but I guess we will find out next week.

 This is the back of her harness

 Gotta love those cheeks

 Cute little bum!

This poor little girl has been thru alot but is still a happy sweet little baby!

We just lover her!
