Yay-- she DOES NOT have hip dysplasia!
Background-- At her 1 mo checkup, her pedi noticed a click in her hip (I heard it too), so she ordered an u/s to check it out. The u/s showed hip dysplasia (hip/leg growing out of socket)-- a treatable condition, but she'd need to wear a harness for several weeks.
I took DD to the orthopedic specialist today. He examined her by feel and said he thought she was fine, but decided to do an x-ray. Her hips look normal! Yay! Apparently the u/s is notoriously wrong! Good news for us, but I wish they would not have diagnosed her before she saw the specialist!
