DDH and a Spica Cast

So I guess an update is appropriate for my little pirate walker. We took her to Children's Orthopedics where she had some x-rays done, and her legs looked at. They layed her on her back and put her legs in the butterfly position and pushed them toward the table. The left leg could almost touch the table, however, her right leg (the short leg) didn't quite make it and made her cry to even try. After the x-ray we were told Payton has DDH or Developmental Hip Dysplasia. Her left hip is great, but her right hip is completely dislocated and has been for who knows how long? Since birth????? I'm convinced that I have a sloppy pediatrician who never listened to my concerns at 12 and 18 months. But what can you do now?! If this had been caught then, Payton would've been able to avoid invasive surgery. But now she will be getting surgery here soon to rebuild her hip, that will leave her in a spica body cast for 6 weeks. Along with another surgery in 2 years to remove the plates in her hip. So if anybody has a pediatrician they would like to recommend I would love the help. I'm afraid if I were to see mine again, It would be pretty confrontational. Anyhow this is a pretty bitter post, I apologize. I know this could be much worse. I just haven't quite come to terms with it all, and I'm sure I wont until she is in the cast and we have all gotten used to the situation. Any advice, tips, anything is appreciated. I already know awsome Riley will be sharing her expertise on the spica cast with us when Payton comes home. How lucky we are to have others who are familiar with what to do. I am completely shell shocked still. If interested you can learn more at www.orthoinfo.aaos.org. Just type DDH in the search.
