Grant Denyer’s wife Chezzi shared an update on Tuesday about the couple’s two-year-old daughter’s battle with hip dysplasia.
The 42-year-old TV producer shared a video of Sunday crawling around in a hip brace last year and then one of her walking around recently to show the difference a year makes.
Chezzi described it as “absolute agony” to see her little one suffer.
“What a HUGE leap in a year for our little hippie baby Sunday,” wrote Chezzi.
“And to all the parents out there with a newly diagnosed hip dysplasia, bubba…stay tuned in.” The nights are long and the days are even longer when your baby is wearing braces or a Spica cast.

“It’s absolute agony to see your baby in pain or uncomfortable.” You think you’re not going to make it. The lack of sleep. The constant discomfort.
“The lump in your throat when you encourage your baby to have another procedure.” Another general anesthetic. The fear you feel in the pit of your stomach. Try to keep the end goal in mind. “You have to be strong for them.”
Chezzi added that the countless doctor’s appointments and the work stoppages for vacations have been stressful.
She encouraged parents to take care of themselves too.

Chezzi described it as “absolute agony” to see her little one suffer.
“Make sure you take care of both yourself and your baby.” “It’s hard and tiring and stressful and scary but feeling all those things and expressing all your emotions when you can is a must,” she said.
“Connect to the amazing online communities for advice and compassion.” “The Facebook groups were my lifesaver last year.”
In August last year, Chezzi said she believes she caused her daughter Sunday’s hip dysplasia.
The little boy underwent quick surgery to correct his severe hip dysplasia in March and has since made a full recovery.

“I went into shock when the specialist explained that she needed to be put under general anesthesia and in a cast called a spica as soon as possible,” she told Body and Soul magazine.
‘Because [her hip dysplasia] The diagnosis was made so late that her hips were practically flapping in the wind. They wanted to act quickly. If we waited any longer, she would need a hip replacement.

“Or whether I should have pushed the doctors harder for answers. But I trusted the system. Even though I knew something wasn’t quite right, I wanted to believe that everything was fine. But it wasn’t.’
Hip dysplasia occurs when the socket does not fully cover the ball of the upper thigh bone, resulting in hip dislocation.
It’s something people are usually born with, and the surgery requires patients to recover in a spica cast that covers the legs from the ankles to the navel and has a recess in the groin for using the toilet.
“Hold on sweetheart, you’ve already shown us how brave and smart you are.” “Love Dad,” Grant previously wrote online of his daughter’s battle with the disease.
In addition to Sunday, Grant and Chezzi are also parents to daughters Sailor (10) and Scout (6).
