Sutton had his 6 month hip check-up on the last day of July. The news was definitely not what we had expected or hoped for. His right hip angle continues to be within the normal range. However his stubborn left hip has decided to venture outside the normal range, meaning that it is no longer developing as the doctor likes. She had warned us during his first surgery to expect the unexpected because this condition is so rare in boys, but I guess we were really hoping to avoid any future surgeries. So with that said we are anticipating Sutton having another surgery next summer to do some work to the socket itself. After the surgery he will again be body casted for 6 weeks. After our not so good news we made a trip to the zoo for some fun (if you call it that). We had left the house at 7:30 that morning. We got to the zoo at about 5:00, ate dinner about 8:00, and got home about 10:00. So you can imagine how cranky the kids and we were. The boys did have a good time at the zoo though.
