FINAL Hip Update

We have not been putting Emmy in the harness for the past few months, despite the fact the doctor advised us to. We decided that she was fine as is and that we'd risk seeing what happens later in life (the worst case scenario was that she'd have arthritis in her 50s, won't we all?!). It drove Josh nuts but I couldn't help but kept worry about her having issues in a few years. What if she wanted to be a dancer or athlete but she had hip problems? Something that could have been taken care of before she could remember? So, I made a follow-up appointment. We had x-rays done this morning and her hips are perfect!! We are supposed to go in every year until she is 5 but they look great. Emmy even got to pick out a stuffed animal. She picked a moose wearing a scarf, I think we'll name him Milton.

  1. Now you and Josh will have peace of mind and know you have done the right thing. Nice, another friend - Milton will enjoy playing with "Monty" & the rest of the crowd! xoxo
