I was dreading this appointment as it seems like every time we go to our Orthopedic Surgeon we seem to get "bad" news.
That was not the case this time!
Mackenzie only needs to wear her brace now for naps and night time and she can start working on learning to walk.

| Hello World! |
I think our surgeon has learned that when it's us he is going to have to explain things very well and wait to answer all of our questions. He did a much better time this time explaining the rationale behind this next step and giving us an opportunity to ask a few questions. He still did open the door and begin walking out while he was still talking to us, but we are making progress.
He said that her hip is developing but the Acetabular Index is still a bit shallow. There is no definitive research about whether or not the brace helps but we both agree that it can't hurt for her to wear it while she's sleeping.
We go back again in 8 weeks for a follow up to see if her hip has continued to develop.
