This week we got some great news at the doctor's office. Eliana responded really well to the harness and the orthopedic surgeon was unable to get her hip in and out of socket. So she will need to be in the harness for 8 weeks total (7 more weeks), then we are done! He was really positive that she will respond well to the treatment and we don't have to go back to see him for 3 weeks. We will be adjusting the harness ourselves in the meantime- a little daunting, but at least we don't have to pay for it each time. The other great news is Adalyn also had an xray of her hips and everything is completely fine- no hip dysplasia!
We also visited our pediatrician and Eliana has gained one pound in a week- up to 9 lbs, 8 oz. It was surprising she had gained so much weight given that her nursing sessions are much shorter than Adalyn's, but I'm thankful! Here are a couple of pictures of Eliana enjoying her second week at home:
