Baby Hanwah

Meet Hannah.

Hannah is the blonde hair, blue eyed child in front.  We still have no idea where she came from.  As we've talked about before, she is our miracle child.

She's affectionately known around our family as "Hanwah" thanks to a minor speech impediment of Morgan.  The curly haired, talks non-stop child behind Hannah.

Hannah took her first steps on Thanksgiving Day 2011. 

By January, I knew something was amiss.  Hannah didn't walk like a normal child.  You might not notice it at first, but there was something just...off.  We took her to the doctor in February.  Her pediatrician that I love with all my heart, didn't see any cause for concern.

Last Wednesday, Hanwah went back for a check up and was immediately referred to an orthopaedic doctor. 

This morning, Hannah was diagnosed with Developmental Dysplasia of the Hips.  It was not the news I was expecting.  I thought really and truly I was just being an overprotective mother making too much out of something.

Now I know this is not life threatening, but in our world this is life changing.  She sees a pediatric orthopaedic specialist this Thursday.  I will know more then.  But thanks to WebMd, I've terrified myself with all the possibilities.

I know without a shadow of a doubt, God wanted Hannah here for a reason.  And I know this is part of His plan.  But could I ask you guys to please pray for our Hanwah? 

Like I said, we'll know more on Thursday.  If what I read is true, and you know how that goes, it's going to be rough road for our little girl the next year or so.  And mommy isn't handling it too well herself.
