Mary update

Waiting at cooks children's :)






Saw the dr at cooks children's and LOVED it!! Both drs we have seen this week were great, cooks is just CLEARLY a children's hospital and everyone is so kid fabulous :)

So the cooks dr said it IS dysplasia, that led to a dislocation. He believes it will NOT simply be manipulated back into the socket. He said to plan on them needing to go in, scrape the socket and then put it back in. Possibly having to cut the bone, reposition it and put a plate in the bone. Much bigger procedure than we first though but we feel good about everything being done at a children's hospital. He said they will follow marys progress into adulthood because issues can come up as they grow and develop.

The cooks dr also doesn't do he surgery alone. He will do surgery along w a senior colleague so that it goes faster (resulting in Mary being under shorter) as there are two sets of hands and two heads to problem solve if something unexpected comes up.






We will stay in the hospital a few days, until they are sure Mary is comfortable :) we are still looking at 6 weeks in a full spica cast then 6 weeks in a spica cast only to her knees. Long summer for Mary :/. Cooks surgery scheduler will call us next week to schedule surgery.

Please pray they are able to fix marys hip with as little cutting as possible!! Would love for them to not have to cut bone at ALL!! We are confident in the dr's, the hospital and resting in Gods mercy and grace. He's got this under control :)
