Hip Times at TCH

Today we headed down to the medical center to Texas Children's Hospital for Peyton's follow up appointment for her hip. When she was born she was born breeched at since her legs were up by her ears and had been like that for awhile she had a dislocated hip. The recommended course of treatment was to visit a pediatric orthopedic surgeon and determine whether she would have to wear a brace for a couple a months. We had our first appointment a month ago where we had x-rays which didn't show anything and the doctor didn't feel anything. In order to be thorough we had an ultrasound (they are more precise at this young age) and follow up appointment today. Peyton was a champ during the ultrasound and pretty much slept through the whole thing. We saw the doctor later and he said the ultrasound look great and after feeling her hip movement said he didn't feel anything either. Pretty much her hip healed on its own and there would be no further treatment. Praise the Lord! I truly believe that God has answered all of our prayers and took care of Peyton so we wouldn't have to go through with the whole brace process. Also being down at TCH and seeing so many other children who are a whole lot more sick than Peyton makes us thank the Lord for delivering us a healthy girl. It was a great day and many reasons to smile (hence her outfit).
