Hip Check-ups

Most of you know that Cati and Chiara were born with dislocated hips (a.k.a. hip dysplasia). They each wore hip braces as infants for 4-6 months. Today they had check-ups with their orthopedist. Cati's x-ray looked great, and she won't have to been seen for 2 years. Chiara's x-ray was ok. The hip is in the socket, but the angle of the hip is not right yet. The doctor expects it to fix itself in time, so she doesn't need treatment for it, but she will have to be seen again in 6 months.
