I am sure most of you are aware, but for those of you who aren't Nate and I decided at the end of May to cancel Sutton's surgery. We took him back to a surgeon that we have talked to in the past. This surgeon felt that we still have a good window of opportunity to repair his left hip. At this time Sutton is not having any mobility issues and the hip is not getting worse. Nate and I were already a little hesitant (knowing what the surgery would include), so we both agreed on the way to the car after this appointment that we would wait. When I spoke with Sutton's primary surgeon she was not in agreement at first, but the more we talked we came to a compromise. She feels that we should wait no longer than shortly after he turns 3, which would mean surgery next summer (if it doesn't get better on its own). Sutton goes back for another x-ray at the end of July, so we will know more then. The blue shorts in these photos came from the 2nd opinion surgeon. At first Sutton was not going to have anything to do with putting them on, but then we couldn't get him to take them off!! I asked one of the nurses if they kept the shorts and she said yes they wash them and reuse them. I then explained to her the situation and she said oh don't worry about it. Even once we got home he would not take them off, crazy kid!!!
