An episode that highlights how important those hip X- Ray appointments are, as a standard monitoring program for children with CP. It makes us understand why we wander through the hospital corridors every 6 or 12 months and answers what it is the Doctors are looking out for.
Family discussions post X- Ray being taken, and the Doctors point to the most obvious bones of the ‘ball and socket’ on either side of the hips. We are updated on where the ball and socket is at, if the ball is slightly out of the socket it's something to monitor and come back in six months, but if it’s as it should be snugly fitting into each other then we’ll see you in twelve.
We discover more than what parents discuss at these annual visits and discover how important these visits and findings are in our children's developments and their development journeys. We discover how hip displacements and placements can increase or decrease a child's quality of life and how important the ‘ability of movement’ actually is, no matter how little it may be.
