Celie Hip Update

On May 5th, we went to see the Orthopedic Surgeon. Celie had X-rays taken and then we went to see the Dr. Both Bob and I were nervous about the meeting. When Celie had her screws taken out, the Dr. wasn't very pleased about the degree that her hip was at. It was at 30 and it should be 30 or below. They prefer below. Anything about 30 and surgery would have to occur, again. So, Bob and I waited.

The Dr. came in and prodded Celie a little bit. She had her run and such and then announced that her hip was at 26 degrees. YEAH!!! She said that it doesn't necessarily mean that Celie is totally out of the woods, but it does mean that for now she is doing great. She said that she should be checked on again in 6 months and referred us to an Orthopedic Surgeon in CT.

Bob and I were so happy. Celie had no idea why. It made for a very happy weekend.
