Checkup

Annabelle had a checkup today - her first for awhile.  As always, I was nervous going in.  I often forget about the journey we've been through, and I'm always a bit taken aback when people ask me how Annabelle is - I forget. 
I forget all the tears and heartache and sleepless nights through the Pavlik, and the Rhino, and the Spica.
Today's checkup was nothing short of perfect.  My girl's hips are still perfect. 
Her next checkup isn't for another year. 

Healthy Hips

We had our first no-intervention checkup today with Dr Olney.  Annabelle has been out of her brace for a little over a month. 
Her hips are healthy.
Her hips are perfect.
WE HAVE HEALTHY HIPS.
I'm crying tears of joy as I write this.
