Scottish Rite Hospital for Children

Today we visited Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. What an amazing experience! Our pediatrician sent us there to have a hip sonogram done on Ella. Since I was born with a displaced hip and Ella has some tightness in her hips, our doctor wanted to have her checked out.

Bottom line, all is well, praise God! Even though Ella has some tightness in her hips, the sonogram showed that her hips look normal. He feels that the tightness that's present will correct itself over time. To be sure, we are to take her back for another sonogram in four months to be sure her hips are developing normally.

Both Craig and I felt that our experience with the hospital was wonderful! We were greeted by everyone with a warm, welcoming smile. There were volunteers that escorted us to wherever we needed to go so that we weren't walking around aimlessly trying to figure it out on our own. The facility was very kid-friendly and had such a relaxed, comfortable environment. We were very impressed and appreciative they accepted Ella as a patient.

I encourage you to visit their website at www.tsrhc.org to learn more about the hospital and their services. We will always find a way to donate to this amazing hospital! We are forever grateful.
