Our little Paratrooper

Well if we have learned anything recently it is that kids are anything but predictable. Madelyn had a mild case of Hip Dysplasia. Basically her hip joint at the top of her femur where it meets the hip, is loose. That's the bad news, the good news is that since her bones are still rather soft she can wear this harness for 6 weeks to reshape her joints. Karin had this condition as a newborn and it turns out that first born females are more prone to it as well. She can come out of the harness for 1 hour each day for playtime and baths etc...She's well taken care of, we've had a few visits to Children's hospital for Ultrasounds and to get the harness fitted.

Cute baby pictures will be slightly harder to come by, We will make the best of it. I'm trying to figure out a way to make a Paratrooper costume for Halloween.
