One week on and Edward is crawling in his Spica cast. It looks very uncomfortable but he seems very pleased with his new found freedom. He's also loving playtime on his tummy with his cars - he really is coping remarkably well.
The sleeping has deteriorated somewhat - particularly if we don't give him a dose of Mediced before bed - but generally he's still sleeping reasonably well. It's poor Mummy and Daddy who are suffering!
Last night we watched 'Embarrassing Bodies - Kids' on Channel 4. It featured a 10 month old boy with DDH. Great to see the condition being discussed but they did seem to gloss over many of the practicalities. I'm also not completely comfortable about DDH being described as 'embarrassing'!
