That, my friends, is the tiny piece of hardware placed in Emily's right femur and hip during her Superhip procedure six weeks ago. That x-ray was taken yesterday. Last night at about 10:50 PM, Dr. Paley e-mailed us the ok to remove her cast for good and begin weight-bearing and physical therapy. And there was much rejoicing. If I had more time, I would go into great detail about our plans for a nice retirement ceremony for this stupid, clam-shell, urine-stanked brace (think a large open field, safety goggles and three sticks of dynamite) but I don't. So, instead just think about our kid roaming free yet again. And smile a lot. Because we are.Thursday, September 23, 2010

Hello
I am a moher of a 13-month-old girl who was born with pffd. While looking for some information about prosthesis I came across a blog about your daughter. My little girl is trying to walk on her own but without a proper prosthesis it is impossible. Doctors in Poland don’t know much about pffd therefore the prosthesis which they made is not the best and my baby can’t walk with it. I am in touch with dr Paley, however he only gave me theoretical information on how it should look like. I would be very grateful if you could help me and send some photographs of the prosthesis that your daughter has.
