We went to the doctor yesterday and it was AWESOME. Her hip sockets are FINALLY starting to develop correctly. He said that both balls (the part that fit into the socket) are now the same size (which is a relief cause they weren't last time) and that both of her sockets are the same size. Her bad hip index is still a little high, but they are both within the normal range, so that was great news. He was very optimistic about it, which for Dr. Showalter that is uncommon. This is the first time I have left the office without crying because he said, "Although I won't guarantee there won't be another surgery, I am fairly confident that she won't need one". That was so great to hear. We are to have her continue to be the active kid she is and have her rechecked next January. He said that if her hip looks good next time, he thinks she is out of the woods. Yippee!!
