Hip update

We haven't really posted much about Sophie's hip since we moved to Norway. She has seen a specialist here and had a CT scan (she was very brave and lay perfectly still). The upshot is that the brace she is wearing is not doing the job it was intended for. She is going to need further surgery. This time she will have some pretty major hip reconstruction of both the pelvis and femur. So, the date for this operation is set for 18th November and it will be done in Bergen Hospital. Afterwards Sophie will go into a plaster cast (as before) for 6 weeks until the end of the year. She has been a very brave little girl and hopefully this will put an end to it.
