Play Date + Hip Appointment.

{KADENCE'S FIRST YEAR BOOK CAME IN THE MAIL TODAY!!!}

So Kadence and I had a play date last night with one of her new little BFF's and her mommy. It was great to have some adult conversation and her two year old, Dylan is GREAT with KK. They're like two peas in a pod. I can already see all the trouble they're going to get into as they get older. Tattoos, boys, sneaking out..maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself, but it's sure to come. All and all, it was a great night -- dance off, random nakedness and O's everywhere! They may have had more fun than us :)

As for today, Kadence had a followup appointment over at Vanderbilt for her hip. Dr. Mencio said that everything was still looking good and improving. Unfortunately he said it's still too early to know for sure and there's not really anything they can do but sit back and wait a little longer. We scheduled another appointment for her 2 year birthday and we'll go from there. He gave me a copy of her X-ray and explained where the hip "needs to be" by then..hopefully it will continue to drop into place. If not, he was talking about actual surgery taking place to cut a slit into the bone, tilt/angle it down and then take another piece of bone from a different place in her leg and fill in the slit they cut to push the hip down. Hope that makes sense in text form -- I completely understood what he was talking about doing which is a first with him. He's usually very cryptic and non descriptive, but he hit it on the head this time and made it black and white for me. So everyone keep praying that Kadence will continue to progress in the right direction. I don't even want to imagine that fiasco and/or doctor bill when that time comes!!
