I couldn't believe it...

... when the doctor looked at the x-ray and told me we can stop using the hip brace during the day time! But she's only 6 weeks into the treatment... its impossible, I mean, we were told she'd need 18 weeks at least! Apparently not, and my daughter's hips are now developed as normal. Obviously I was delighted to hear this fantastic news, but I cautiously asked him to explain exactly what he was seeing on the x-ray so that there could be no mistake.

So that's it! Back to using her maxi-cosi car seat, she can fit into her buggy again, and yes, oh yes she can wear clothes... YIPPEEE!

We still have to use the brace for 12 hours every night, but we don't mind that because she sleeps comfortably in it and it stops her wriggling all over the cot.

I'm so excited for her, because she can now learn to crawl and walk just like other babies. Her development shouldn't be affected any more than it would have already been (owing to her prematurity).

What an amazing, fantastic, super-girl I have! I love her so much it blows me away.
