Starting PT

Kirah is starting physical therapy. One can only hope that it is helpful and that she will finally learn to walk. She really is getting too heavy to carry. It is unfortunate to learn that Kirah's hip anle has incread 8 degrees--a big deal. The physical therapist says that the increase may be due to the fact that she was standing when they took her x-ray, but that much of an increase is still a big deal in such a little body. We are hoping the the angle will go back down once she starts strengthening her muscles and using that joint.

Hip angle progress to date:
August 2008: 44 degrees
June 2009: 38 degrees
