Today we drove up to Sydney for our appointment with the hip specialist.
The Bubby's hips could not be more perfect. He even told us not to get the five month 'just in case' xray we had booked because they are completely fine.
It was such a relief.
And also funny when she farted on him while he was checking her legs.
The Toddler's hips have also slightly improved. He showed her acetabular angles as 30 and 35 last time, now both are 30. He said if we need to have the operation there is no difference between doing it now or in one year or two years so we might as well wait to see if there is any improvement.
He said her inturned feet comes from her thighs and from her calves. Often the thigh flexibility will resolve itself with age. As she didn't like being examined, he said that he would see how she is going next time as to whether we look at the boots and bar.
And he doesn't want to see us for another 12 months (rather than six).
Overall, it went as well as it could have.
And it is just such a relief that things aren't any worse.
