We saw the doctor this morning for an adjustment on the PH. He didn't have much to say other than that he could tell she had grown, and adjusted her legs for leg growth. He said the next two weeks will be critical to determine where we go from there. We have another ultrasound that morning and will see him afterwards.
If her hips are aligned, we will continue with the PH for two more weeks and then change to a removable brace.
If her hips are not aligned, they will schedule her for cast placement, which they will do under general anesthesia.
He said she has a slightly better risk of not having her hips aligned due to having hip dysplasia in both hips.
I cried on the way home. Honestly, the thought of Annabelle being put under anesthesia scares me more than the cast. It makes sense why she would need to be sedated, the thought just never crossed my mind.
These next two weeks are going to crawl ...
