The swelling in Maddy's leg is gone, and we have a little progress to report. She has started moving her left leg on her own. When she crawls, she still scoots, but occasionally uses the left leg as well. She can pull up to a standing position, and occasionally puts some weight on the left leg. She can climb on the couch totally by herself. We aren't to the cruising stage yet, but slowly I am sure we will get there.
Maddy has a ortho appt. on the 23rd, we will get an x-ray done to make sure her leg is still in the hip socket. My biggest fear is that it will be out of socket, and then she will need an open reduction which is a huge surgery.
I am definitely going to push for physical therapy (PT), at this next appt. I have learned about Early Childhood Intervention (ECI). They will come to our house and do PT with Maddy. So if the doctor won't prescribe PT I am going to go the ECI route. ECI might be easier anyway beacause I start school next week, and I am taking 17 hours.
Senthil-I am here if you have any questions. I started this blog to help others. Everytime, Maddy has had an issue I have looked to others that have gone through the same situations for help and ideas, and with questions.
