Hip Luxation

In the summer of 2009, Vegard suffered from a hip luxation in his right hip. We are currently waiting for the hip to be put back in place at Rikshospitalet. This will most likely happen during autumn 2010.

After having the hip surgery, Vegard will be in a cast from his hip down to his ankles for 6-8 weeks. This will cause some challenges when it comes to logistics around our boy. How will we move him aroung, when he won't fit in his car seat, nor in his pram or wheel chair? Will we be able to keep him at home, or does he have to stay in hospital or in the care home during this period?

We do luckilly have a fine group of helpers round us, and preliminary plans are made already. As soon as we get the date for the surgery, the group will come together to plan everything down to the very least of details.

So - this too shall pass.
