Hi everyone

I just wanted to report that James has had his hips scanned by
ultrasound - a very simple and quick procedure. We were told that
they looked fine, so he shouldn't need to go through all the
treatment that Grace had, thankfully. I was interested to find out
that only some hospitals have staff trained to scan babies' hips by
ultrasound. I had to ask if we could be referred elsewhere as our
local hospital only does x-rays at five months. It's thanks to this
Group that I was informed enough to ask, so it's definitely worth
knowing about. I think Steps are trying to get ultrasound more
widely available so that all babies at risk are checked out early,
as early diagnosis can make all the difference. Hope everyone else
is OK.
