Let's fix those hips!

We had a bit of a surprise at the end of August at a thought-to-be routine examination of Evangeline's hips.  It turns out she has a mild case of hip dysplacia, requiring her to wear a brace night and day to aid in the development of her hips.  The brace is kind of cute, to be honest, but it makes it quite awkward to hold her and cuddle her and nurse her.  We have been learning new ways of doing a lot!  We would appreciate your prayers as we navigate this, mostly that the medical device would work well and quickly and that we would have patience and endurance with all the appointments and caring for Evangeline through this treatment.

This first picture is from her first few minutes with the brace, completely unaffected (thankfully!).
