we have just discovered that DD has hip dysplaysia and have an appointment on Tues to see the consultant. My friend is a medical professional and specializes in this area. He has warned me to prepare for an operation with her in a plaster cast for a significant period of time 3-6 months!
She is only 7 months and has just started rolling, sitting up etc. We are just getting over the hurdle of reflux and now we are faced with this. Feeling I bit sorry for her and us!
Worrying about whether she will fit in pram, car seat etc. Heard they have difficulty in sitting up and not sure if there is anyone out there who can provide special seats etc. I know that a lot of my questions can be answered on Tues but could do with some support from mums who have been there.
Know that its probably going to be worse for us than for her. Or so Ive been told but know my wee honey is going to be so frustrated. Due back to work at end of April and not sure what to do now. Do I go on sick? Just dont know if I can lie about being sick? I you can see im a bit all over the place at the minute.
