one hip blog: Hangin' with the fam....

Today we went to lunch at Chili's with Grandma and Grandpa O, Granny and Uncle Derek. Then we hung out at Uncle Derek's house.

Our Little "HIP" baby...

As many of you know, Addie has a condition called CDH or Congenital Dysplasia of the Hip. She was diagnosed at birth and has been in numerous braces, had an unsuccessful Closed Reduction and Spica cast and had a Salter Osteotomy on March 22, 2011. She is now cruising all over the furniture, "running" with her baby shopping cart, standing by herself and at 21 months is WALKING!! Praise God!! This whole process has been so hard for all of us but she is such an amazing little girl and inspires me everyday!

I have had to do extensive research on everything from car seats to toys and hope that my hard work will save someone else endless hours on the phone and internet. Thank you to all of our friends, family and blog followers for all your love, prayers and support! We couldn't have made it without you!

Check out the tabs at the top of the page for tons of info on Hip Dysplasia. I will continue to update these pages as I learn from our experiences. If you have any suggestions, questions or need any help with your hip baby, email me at hippyaddie@yahoo.com

p.s I'm not a doctor, just a mom who loves her little hip baby and wants to help other families get as much info as possible. Please do not mistake my experience for medical advice. Consult your own doctor for any medical advice and be sure to get regular check-ups for your little one. :)
