Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I need some advice for a friend, she gave her permission to post the situation for replies. Her daughter is 21 months old, type II. Seems the doctors are very concerned with her hips. Apparently they are more that 50% dislocated! YIKES!! They are going to be going to an ortho. surgeon within the next 6 months. The dr. did say that they are more aggressive with doing this surgery, but felt that the positives of having the surgery far outweigh the negatives. I thought I remembered hearing that regardless of the surgery, her hips will become dislocated again eventually. That this is just something most SMA'ers have to live with...am I right? Any advice for this mom? I greatly appreciate your insight and advice. Since Brett does not bear weight on his legs (without his stander), this is not something I am familiar with. Thanks!
