Jean Grey is the only Class 5 mutant I’ve ever encountered, her potential is practically limitless. Her mutation is seated in the unconscious part of her mind and therein lies the danger.
It’s been a great season for these Love Toon commissions! Playing around with some atmospheric color and custom brushes on this one. The Love Toon sale is going on until Valentine’s Day! https://www.instagram.com/p/Br4EsOrB-WV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15dp85q7wean7
Dealing with Infant Hip Displasia.
Elsie was born with a dislocated hip and has been wearing a series of contraptions since she was 2 weeks old. We did whatever we needed to do to help her little hip grow in the right direction. But it was hard. We dealt with it the best we could (with the help of leg warmers & photoshop). But it was really hard.
This was the first day she got her Pavlik harness. Our little 2 week old baby. It was as awful as it looks
Leg warmers helped us feel a little more fashionable.
Her skydiving lessons paid off!
After 6 weeks of wearing the Pavlik harness, the doctors said her hip was still not looking good. They upgraded her to the Rhino brace. It was much less cumbersome. Still way more than I wanted on my baby. But look at that trooper! Fist up, ready to fight!
After 8 weeks of wearing the Rhino brace, her hip was headed in the right direction and she only had to wear the brace at night. This is one of our favorite memories of her when she managed to wiggle her leg out of the brace. So proud of herself!
Today we found out that Elsie's hip is in the socket and we are done with contraptions! Happy 6 month birthday, baby! You're free! 🎉 We are brace-free and feeling fantastic! It was a long road. But worth every step. We would do it all again for our sweet girl!
In sharing this it is our hope that it will give other parents a little reassurance. When you’re in it it is easy to feel helpless, like things will always be this way. Obviously every situation is different but hopefully seeing our story, with a begininng, middle and end, will help someone else get through this.
