Re: DDH - Lori

August 19, 2005

Connor is 22 months now (his tort resolved at about 12-13 months). We

didn't have any test done for displasia other than what his ped. did

at his checkups. I mentioned it to his PT and the ped, but neither

thought he had displasia, which apparently he didn't. I hope that

doesn't have it either!
