Before Christmas we found out that Natalie has a dislocated hip (due to a condition called hip displaysia) that will need to be corrected with surgery. After the surgery she'll have to wear a hip spica cast that will cover her from her tummy to her knees for 6 to 12 weeks. . Our hearts were broken for her but we know that this needs to be done.
Our families and friends have been extremely supportive already and both of our mothers are coming to Calgary during the first three weeks that Natalie is in her cast. Friends have all offered thier support and prayers and even strangers have helped us by sharing thier experiences.
We know it will be tough but we've decided to try and look at this not-so-great-situation in a positive light. We realize that there are much worse things that could happen to our little pumpkin and we're going to do everything we can to make her comfortable.
Natalie's surgery is Friday, after that we'll post as many updates as possible in the coming weeks so you can keep up with her progress. And for those of you who may not know us but happen to find this blog - please feel free to ask questions or share your experiences.
Bye for now
Wendy, Dan and Natalie
