Hi Sara I've just re-read your reply. I'm so sorry for the delay in responding, I managed to miss-read your offer of the high chair loan. It's very kind of...
... My daughter had a pelvic osteotomy when she was just turned 4 yrs old. She was in casts for 12 weeks. She's now 6 1/2 years old. We were given a small...
Andrea, I hope that you don't mind me jumping in here about the traction. Traction time, though not painful, can be uncomfortable for the child. And its ...
Hi Nancy Thank you for replying and for your advice. It is very much appreciated. We were beginning to think that everyone in this support group had gone on...
Hi! Just had our latest appointment with the consultant, and am kinda looking for advice on what to expect, please. Amy's right hip is still stiff, and not...
Hi Barbara, Sophie had a closed reduction when she was 8 months. It is hard putting them though the anaesthectic more from a mums point of view. Just because I...
Andrea I'm so so sorry for the delay in responding. I am so behind with all my e-mails.... It sounds like you've been through an emotional rollercoaster over...
Hi Barbara I'm sorry that Amy has to have an arthogram and closed reduction and I understand your fears... The hardest part for me was the first time we had...
Thanks, Sarah, and thanks, Leanne. One more question (for now - I'm sure there will be plenty more before we're through!) - how do you pick up a baby who has a...
Hiya Thanx for your reply and advice. First, Peter, who was born with bilateral cleft lip and palate, has had 4 ops so far. His first was at 13 weeks when he...
Hi Lottie will be in good company then so to speak! Lottie is having the same as Amy but a week later on the 1st Nov. Though Lottie has a week of traction to...
Thanks, Andrea. You said you're in the south east, and sounds like near London if you're going to GOS. We're in Guildford. I realise this isn't the best place...
Hi Barbara It is difficult at first to move around a child in a spica cast, but never lift them under the arms!! You lift by putting one hand under the bum or...
Hi Andrea It sounds like Peter has been through a lot in his short life, but it's amazing how resilient kids are isn't it? It's the parents that find it...
Thanks, Sara. I'd read about the 'under bum and armpit/torso' bit, but just got a bit concerned when I realised that at the moment, to turn her on my knee, I...
Andrea Sorry, I meant to say Lottie not Amy... Ooops. Sara x ... From: Andrea Macro To: clickyhipsclub@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, October 15, 2004 10:47 PM...
Morning Sara Thanx for your reply. It's good to hear how well Emily is doing. Just last week a friend loaned me a hippy chick belt! She no longer uses it and...
Hi Andrea We have the cloth thingy that attaches to a chair and we also have the narrow child chair from Ikea - this works perfectly!! I would go for the...
Hi Barbara Sounds like a great idea! We're about an hour from you. Will Amy be in GOS? If so we should see you there. Lottie goes in on 25th. It's such a leap...
Hi Andrea. Amy is going to be in the Royal Surrey (only 3 minutes' drive from home, so hopefully couldn't be better). Would've been nice to have been able to...
Hiya How's you? This week has got to be the longest! Mind you, this time last year was really dragging too as we waited for Lottie's arrival (she was 5 days...
Hi again, We took a trip up north to visit grandma and grandad for a few days, so this week has gone fairly quickly for us. I wasn't too keen on keeping her in...
Hi everyone, I am a new member here looking for advice on how to cope day to day with my daughter Bethany in plaster. She had an ultrasound at 3 days old and...
Hi, I don't know how old your daughter is, but I'll try to help. My daughter had a full spica on at 4.5months. We put a pillow under her in the cot & wiggled...
Hi! Has anyone found a baby walker (entertainment centre kind of thing with wheels, where the baby is completely enclosed - the kind that are really...
Hi Everyone, I am a writer for babyworld and I am doing a feature to coincide with Hip Health Week (25-31 Oct 04). I would really like to include some personal...
Hi I'm willing to give our story. As part of the hip awareness week there was an article in the Warrington Guardian (local paper) about Emily's story... Our...
