WE WANT YOU!





EMMA WANTS YOU!

(This was close as I could get to the classic poster...
and much cuter don't you think??)








As if my plate was not quite full enough with running BabyHipWear, taking care of Emma Rose, being Director of Advertising for Stroller Traffic and trying to cook for the husband occasionally, I came up with an idea I just can't ignore.

If you saw the article below, there is a huge outpouring of frustration and sometimes anger at the lack of preparation and education from some folks (not all!) in the medical community once a diagnosis is handed down.

How cool would it be if there was a "Hip Dysplasia Survival Kit" handed out to EVERY parent in the United States when their child is diagnosed? I think it's cool. A lot of the 'hip' mamas I have bounced it off of think it's cool. So, the recruitment for the 'Hip' Army is on!

I'm reaching out to my customers, blog readers, and support group comrades to volunteer to be the representative of the 'Hip' Army for your state. There is definitely a commitment involved in that you would be called upon to visit every orthopedic pediatrician's office and Children's Hospital in your state to make them aware that these kits are available. You would fulfill orders for the kits, and need to be available via email as the 'contact' person for all new parents in your area, should they have general questions, need advice, etc.

I know so many 'hip' parents that do this a great deal but this is taking is a little further. Committing to raising awareness and helping other parents is what I strive for daily through my company and personally in telling my 'hip' story.

I will not rest until the job is done. I just need some help.

If you are interested, drop me a line through my site to let me know. Thank you.

Continued healing...
