Well Sophie had her 6 week checkup yesterday (which she was overdue for). The doctor is referring her to two specialists.
He told us not to lose sleep over it and that he is only doing it as a precautionary measure but he isn't concerned. Paul tidied up last night and I can't find the notes the doctor gave me but she has an auricular (sp?) pit on her right ear. And he could hear a click when he was checking her left hip but he thinks it was coming from her ankle. He said her ankles are a bit clicky.
So he wants to make sure she does not have anything wrong with her hearing/right ear and that she doesn't have a dislocated hip/hip dysplasia (sp?). My cousin Holly (my mums sisters daughter) had Hip dysplasia. I asked the doctor if that meant that it might be a hereditary thing and he said that they don't think it's a hereditary thing and that since she is my cousin, Sophies genetical makeup is something like 1/16th or 1/28th (can't remember) what Hollys would be... I really can't remember how he explained it but he said the chances are unlikely that it is hereditary.
So yeah. He just told us it's not something to lose sleep over.
