Hopefully you'll stick with me while I try to articulate my question.
During one of Susanna's normal scheduled checkups with her ped, her doctor was checking her hips and made a comment about checking to see if her "rolls" were equal. She was looking at the rolls that all babies have on the upper inner thighs. I didn't really think much about it at the time because her doctor said they were fine. This was probably at her 6 month appointment because it was before we started worrying about her lack of mobility and that was at about 7-8 months. Fast forward to last night. I had Susanna standing in front of the mirror in her bathroom last night just before her bath. She was naked and I got a really good look at her from the front by looking in the mirror. Now, there is a very obvious difference between her left and right leg as far as that little "roll" goes. Her left leg just doesn't really have it at all. Her right leg, definitely does. Even my DH noticed it and he just doesn't notice things like that. I actually noticed it about a month ago and was meaning to mention it at her 12 month appointment but forgot. Her ped looked her over at that appointment but I don't specifically remember her looking at her hips/thighs. Susanna sees a physical therapist every week and has made tremendous progress and her PT hasn't said anything? Any thoughts?
