Silly Lily


On Friday we had an excellent visit to the ortho doctor who declared that Lily's hips are totally normal!! He checked all her "angles" from her hip ultrasound, moved her legs around, applied stress (which really means that he checked to see if they would come out of the socket), and did a few other things which she apparently passed with flying colors. I am pretty sure that it is all because we are phenomenal double diaper-ers. Not really, I am 100% sure that God healed her right up! After seeing a baby in the ultrasound waiting room wearing a Pavlik harness (what could have been Lily's fate), I am so thankful that we did not have to go through with that!! We go back in six months to make sure everything looks great and in the mean time, we can save some extra money by going back to just one diaper at a time (although it sure did help prevent blowouts)!!
Of course as we were leaving, I got the reminder phone call for her next doctor's appointment-the eye doctor. We think she might get to wear a patch just like Tripp, but we will find out for sure after Wednesday. Then we go for her regular four month appointment on Thursday. Hopefully we can hold off on any more doctor visits for a while- I am getting tired of paying co-pays (but I am very thankful for insurance)!
