We welcomed our second daughter Annabelle on February 18, 2012, a week before her due date. That same day, the pediatrician felt a click in her right hip ...
... it was never felt again. An x-ray the same day showed nothing, so we weren't too concerned. We had a follow-up ultrasound when she was 6 weeks old, and it showed that *BOTH* of her hips are dislocated. (a condition called Develomental Dysplasia of the Hip or DDH)

Reduced.
Annabelle's hip is now in the right place for the first time since she was born.
I am a stranger... but found your blog because my daughter also was recently diagnosed with DDH. Thinking of you so often and praying for you and Annabelle. Thanking God for trained medical professionals and His healing mercies. Many blessings to you. Hope you have felt His mighty arms holding you.
