HIP DYSPLASIA:Post operation

Wheew! The first day after our son's hip dysplasia operation, our son gave us a scare when he stood up and started to walk, limping. What was supposed to be a 3 day rest before he can start to walk turned out to be half day only. As what he always tell us, he really is a strong boy!

He was just lying down, resting and watching Cartoons on TV in our room. Then he started to turn his body, crawled and went out of the room and was all smiles when we saw him get out of the room. After a while, he was going to the kitchen, bathroom and the dining area. Maybe he was so bored already with his activity and routine, the next thing we saw was him standing up and started walking towards me and my wife. What a sight! We were excited but at the same time scared because his wound is still fresh and the fact that the bone on his left leg still has holes in it does make it even more scarier.

But beyond the fear, we were happy that our son's hip dysplasia was truly successful. We were also proud of our son, not afraid of pushing himself. We can say that maybe 2 weeks of recovery will be too long already.
