Alison's hips are fine!! We got the call this afternoon, in what has got to be the fastest turnaround time for test results we've ever seen. So it looks like she can go on being a relatively normal kid! :)

Alison had her 12 month well baby check-up this morning. For the most part, everything is looking good. She weighs 22 lbs, 14 oz., is 29 1/4 inches, and her head circumference is 18 3/4, unchanged from last time!!!! She didn't have to get any shots today because we are delaying the MMR until she's older and are probably never going to have her get the chicken pox vaccine. However, in our never ending saga of getting one thing straightened out (her hydrocephalus in this case) only to have another thing pop up, her doctor thought he felt some clicking in her right hip. It could be nothing or it could be hip dysplasia, in which case we would be referred to and orthopedist and she would probably have to be in a splint for several months (the alternative being a very pronounced limp as she gets older). We're taking her to have her hips x-rayed tomorrow and are really, REALLY hoping it's nothing. We might have the results by Friday, but it will more likely be the beginning of next week.
