The Golden Ticket





















We have great news! We went to the pediatric ortho specialist today, and Neely's hip is doing really well! The doctor said it looks like she will not need to have surgery! Praise the Lord. We are so grateful for His healing and answering our prayers. She does not need to wear the harness at all now, so now it is just a matter of teaching her how to sleep without it! She cried for 45 minutes today and would not take a nap when I didn't strap her into the harness for the first time. She is definitely wearing it to bed tonight!! I will have to wean her off of it. Although, a few sleepless nights may be a small price to pay for Neely's progress.
The doctor did say that once she starts walking, we will need to bring her back again for a standing x-ray. This will be the "golden ticket" out of the woods for surgery.
Thanks so much for your prayers for our baby!
We walked up the 13th hole last weekend, and Neely sat on a blanket while daddy played some golf. Here are some pictures.
