Our daughter was diagnosed with Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) at her 6 month check up. When she ended up in a spica cast at almost 9 months we found a lot of blogs to be a big help in our coping and preparing for what to expect with life in a Spica. We hope this blog can help someone else.

One Year Cast Free
I can't believe the one year anniversary of being cast free has passed and I totally forgot about it. In fact, I had to look back through the blog to see what date it even came off. Honestly, the cast and Hip Dysplasia in general have been the furthest things from our minds. Mackenzie is walking and running and jumping and climbing and has totally caught up with other kids her age in terms of her gross motor skills. I talked to our pediatrician and she told us that there is no way for the hip bones to "regress" back once they are proper position. Every once in awhile this summer we would stop and say "remember last summer when she was in the cast", but it, and hip dysplasia, are now thankfully a distant memory.
