I'm still lurking here... my daughter is 4 weeks old now, and has "graduated" from the Pavlik harness to a Rhino brace. We took her in at 3 weeks and the...
Stephanie, The red flag in your email to me is that the first doctor that you saw is not a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. I would make sure that your new ...
Stephanie, I'm so sorry to hear about what's going on with your sweet baby... just to clarify, was the first doc an ortho, but not a pediatric ortho, or is he...
Hello Rosie, it's been quite a while, Actually things with Carine are not much better than with Stephanie's baby. As I already told you, the stirrups dropped...
Hi Stephanie. So glad to have you here, but sorry you need to be, if that makes sense :) I don't have any history with the pavlik as we weren't able to use it,...
Hi! I haven't posted in quite awhile, but I thought I would share this update since we had been identified as a "very difficult cast" and now things are going...
Stephanie, There are several pavlik veterans still around. I know Monica G. will respond. We ourselves didn't go the pavlik route but your concerns are very...
Rebecca, Glad to hear things are heading in a positive direction for Norah and your family. It is so nice to hear the progress after a tough road. Good luck...
Yay! What awesome news! Shawnie _____ From: Hipbaby@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Hipbaby@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Rebecca Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 6:28...
Stephanie, We were in the Pavlik for three weeks before our doc decided that it failed and we entered into Spicaville. The Pavlik that we had she was in the...
It sounds like you are heading in the right direction now -I hope you are able to focus on that! So many of us can relate to the frustration of following a...
Hi, everyone! I was so glad to see that there was a message board for parents of kids with DDH. Our daughter will be 8 weeks old on Saturday and just started...
Stephanie, I am sorry that I missed your original post. So I am going to attach my response to Rosie's. My daughter wore the harnass from 9 weeks to almost 6...
Hi, Allie. If it is only day three, then take heart - your daughter may just need a little time to get used to the brace. That said, check carefully to make...
Hi Allie, I'm not sure exactly what an abduction brace looks like. But our Zoe had trouble sleeping flat on her back in her harness. We found it really...
Our 5-week-old daughter is in a Pavlik harness. She doesn't like being on her back much either. At night she either sleeps in her car seat or sleeps in her...
Thank you so much for your quick responses, everyone! All of your ideas for back sleeping seem great and make a lot of sense. I feel so much better that we...
As of about 9:00 this morning, Corinne's cast is now just a momento. We're both pretty tired and re-adjusting again. The doctor said that her x-rays look...
Congratulations to you both! Enjoy those baths. -Carrie (mom to Ethan) _____ From: Hipbaby@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Hipbaby@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Sallie...
Our little girl (19 months old yesterday) had an open reduction last Wednesday. Yesterday we had a follow-up CT scan and the Dr. called today to tell us that...
Hi Maria! It's good to hear from you again! I'm sorry things have gotten more frustrating with Carine's situation. I surely can relate. It sounds much like...
Kristen, I feel so bad for you, it must be so disheartening for this to have happened. The doctor told us this could happen and I just used to pray that it...
Hi Allie, We had a similar situation with our son in the Pavlik harness--we were able to remove it for parts of the day, and he tolerated it well during waking...
OH, I'm so happy for you and a bit jealous, I must admit. Janelyse went into her spica the day before Corrine and still has approximately 10 weeks to go...ugh....
Great news Sallie, You will like the brace much better then the cast. Chloe was in her Rhino after the spica for 10weeks full time. Then she is now down for...
Now is the time to do all of this. It sounds like it was not set right the first time. We had a CT scan before we left the hospital. I would suggest that this...
Thank you so much, Rosie, for your encouraging words and tips! I've only been on this message board for one day, and I already feel a million times better. As...
I was tooling around on the internet today gathering info for my yet to be built website. The website below has some wonderful simple explanations of Hip...
You don't by any chance have any sites that show pictures of what and explain in detail what exactly is done in an open reduction, do you? I know I'm weird,...
