--Hi Susan,
I did reply last night but the message doesn't seem to be here, so
you may end up with the same message twice!!

The leg creases should be in the same place on both legs and about
the same size. Also, when you straitghten the legs check they are
the same length (hard to do with a baby kicking!) I know your sister
maybe worried but it would be better to put her mind at rest,
hopefully it will turn out to be nothing.Let us know how she gets on.

Sophie is doing well, keeping up with her friends. Sophie still has
one leg shorter than the other but it doesn't bother her. Sophie has
a check-up next week so we should hopefully find out if her hip has
improved and if she will need anymore ops. I will let you all know
how she gets on.
All the best for now
Leanne
