It's been a week since my last post. In that time we met with a family who have already been through this procedure, we've acquired a Spica chair and we've visited the hospital where Edward will be treated.
I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to STEPS, the charity which has provided invaluable information and put us in touch with parents who have first hand experience of DDH. It is because of STEPS that we met with Lee and Louise, parents of Freddie (now aged 6), on Sunday. Freddie had an open reduction aged 18 months and has loaned Edward her Spica Chair - thank you Freddie.
It was also great to have a chat with Freddie's mum and dad and benefit from their experiences - their help is very much appreciated.
On Tuesday we visited St Mary's Children's Hospital in Carshalton with Edward. The hospital is based at St Helier's - an absolute eyesore - but, as long as Edward is well cared for, we can put up with the unpleasing aesthetics.
And so the scary, unbearable to think about, countdown begins...
