The doc said even though Lily's hips have improved since her last visit, they are still underdeveloped and wearing the brace could stimulate growth. Could is the key word because it doesn't guarantee the hips will catch up which is a bummer but the doc suggested we give it a shot. The brace is a bigger version of the last one and Lily will only have to wear it at night. Hopefully it doesn't take too many nights for her to adjust but if it does, at least we have coffee.
Our next appointment is in 6 months which means there is lots of time for improvement but it also means our next cheesecake is 6 months away. I guess it gives me lots of time to decide which kind I want.
The news wasn't exactly what we were hoping for but, in honor of President's day, Abe Lincoln once said, "We can complain because rose bushes have thorns or we can rejoice because thorn bushes have roses." In other words, it's all about perspective.
Bummer!!!
