Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip

Well....Mason has been diagnosed with Hip Dsyplasia.
We are scheduled to see an Orthopedic Surgeon.

Dysplasia of the Hip can be hereditary and Mommy's sister had it and had surgery at a young age.  Mason has been pretty tight with her legs, not flexing all the way open, a little restricted.  We are meeting with a couple of Orthopedic Surgeons to find the best treatment for her at this time.  Most likely she will need a brace or splint, a cast, and surgery in the near future.

Please pray for miss Mason Kate and our family!
