Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Glad you have the brochures. Early treatment for this condition has never before been available to children in the U.S. The early treatment approach for progressive infantile scoliosis is very new to orthopaedic docs in the U.S., and most dont even know about it. If they do know a little about casting, they are familiar with the old fashioned type of casts, and believe thats what we are talking about....Definately, not the case. The casts we are advocating are ~not~ the old Risser type casts that were used post surgery, or as a last ditch effort at maintenance. The casts we are advocating are a lot more specialized, with emphasis on correction 3 dimensionally, on a child size casting frame, with the series of casts applied early, not late. Harnessing the childs rapid growth rate is key. ISOP is working tirelessly on a major awareness campaign. Naturally, we could use all the help we can get. Thanks for helping us spread the word. Sincerely, HRH Had to share Hi everyone, I just had to share my experience this evening. I went to Target and while enjoying my alone time I ran into a woman with twins(I have twins if you don't know). So we start talking and somehow it comes up about getting a cast. She then tells me her daughter has seen 2 doctors because her pediatrician thought she might have infantile scoliosis. Well the second opinion doctor wants to just " wait and see " and doesn't want to have to sedate the baby to do a MRI. My mouth dropped and without thinking I got this puzzled look on my face and begin to tell her all about infantile scoliosis and the early treatment of it. I told her I was not trying to scare her, but if she had a gut feeling to go with it. I told her about the web site......I just hope she can remember it. I wish I would have had a card with the address on it. By the way did you mail those brochures out to me yet? Is the web address on the brochure? Anyway I hope these doctors are right and this little baby does not have scoliosis, but I am glad I was able to put a bug in this mom's ear. I just wish there was more awareness out there for moms and dads. Maybe then they would push the doctors when they say they want to wait and see.

O.K, we go back to church for the first time today (well, not the first time-the past two Sunday's we have been at my Mom's church because of special events taking place there), but anyway, today was first day back at MY church, and for some reason my hackles were just up anyway, don't know why, no specific reason, the world and everyone in it was just not sitting right with me today! had to work today, so it was just me and the girls, and Sage was so fidgety, restless, and hot. Tehya was doing her best to be helpful, which just made Sage act out more, and I was ready to pull them both up and storm out. Anyway, we made it to the end, we are leaving, everybody just wanting to talk, catch up, find out what has been going on with us, etc...well, everybody but the ones who, (and you know you have them at your church, too:) wouldn't talk to you if their life depended on it, (you know, the goody goodies, the ones who always want to know about everybody else's business, but they never call YOU, never ask YOU, how you are, you know the kind! So, anyway, like I said, my hackles are already up, for no apparent reason, and this girl--perfect life, perfect little girl, always dressed to the nines, hides the credit cards from her husband cause she spends so much money on clothes for self and child, doesn't have a clue what it is like to have a child with extra needs (except the extra need of a little discipline:) ), but she IS nice, she does always speak and ask about Sage, etc.Anyway, Sage is having a meltdown in the parking lot, this girl is trying to ask me about Sage, and I am just wanting to scream. So, I end up cutting her a little short, got home, felt bad about being rude, so I called her house to apologize, her husband, (who is my husbands distant cousin) answers the phone and he says "Hey, are y'all coming down?" I say "Um, no, I don't think so. I just called to speak with ***** for a second." He says "Oh, well come on down, we are having **** *****'s party this afternoon." Well, I am sure y'all can take it from there, right?His wife comes and quickly grabs the phone, never mentioning the party, says "Hey, what's up?" I say "Uh, I just called to apologize because I felt that I was rude this morning." She says "Oh, no, I totally understand."Anyway, I hang up thinking, "No, you DON"T understand at all. You DON"T have any idea about the runaway, crazy, unpredictable feelings the parents of special children have. You have the perfect life, (yes y'all, I know that nobody has the "perfect" life, but that's still what I thought anyway), you DON'T the emotions of wanting your child to be treated the same as everyone else, you DON'T have to worry about her not getting invited to birthday parties or other events because other people don't know how to act around her or feel that they can't include her for whatever reason, you DON'T know the sting of that, you DON'T fluctuate between being strong and being a big cry baby, you DON"T have the knowledge that you have to work extra hard to make sure that your daughter feels worthy and valued and loved and accepted and beautiful and important because you know full well that their are cruel people in this world who love to treat people with disabilities as outcast. Honey, YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE!!!!" And, I also thought "I bet they were all just standing around waiting for us to leave so they could go party down without us knowing it"---Oh, God, I AM PATHETIC!!!!And, then, after I thought all of that stuff, I sat in the floor and cried, and then, I got up, went outside, and helped my sweet beautiful girls plant a Herb garden, and I was happy:) Anyway, that's it, their is my contribution to the Pity Party Club:)I am such a baby, huh?

O.K, we go back to church for the first time today (well, not the first time-the past two Sunday's we have been at my Mom's church because of special events taking place there), but anyway, today was first day back at MY church, and for some reason my hackles were just up anyway, don't know why, no specific reason, the world and everyone in it was just not sitting right with me today! had to work today, so it was just me and the girls, and Sage was so fidgety, restless, and hot. Tehya was doing her best to be helpful, which just made Sage act out more, and I was ready to pull them both up and storm out. Anyway, we made it to the end, we are leaving, everybody just wanting to talk, catch up, find out what has been going on with us, etc...well, everybody but the ones who, (and you know you have them at your church, too:) wouldn't talk to you if their life depended on it, (you know, the goody goodies, the ones who always want to know about everybody else's business, but they never call YOU, never ask YOU, how you are, you know the kind! So, anyway, like I said, my hackles are already up, for no apparent reason, and this girl--perfect life, perfect little girl, always dressed to the nines, hides the credit cards from her husband cause she spends so much money on clothes for self and child, doesn't have a clue what it is like to have a child with extra needs (except the extra need of a little discipline:) ), but she IS nice, she does always speak and ask about Sage, etc.Anyway, Sage is having a meltdown in the parking lot, this girl is trying to ask me about Sage, and I am just wanting to scream. So, I end up cutting her a little short, got home, felt bad about being rude, so I called her house to apologize, her husband, (who is my husbands distant cousin) answers the phone and he says "Hey, are y'all coming down?" I say "Um, no, I don't think so. I just called to speak with ***** for a second." He says "Oh, well come on down, we are having **** *****'s party this afternoon." Well, I am sure y'all can take it from there, right?His wife comes and quickly grabs the phone, never mentioning the party, says "Hey, what's up?" I say "Uh, I just called to apologize because I felt that I was rude this morning." She says "Oh, no, I totally understand."Anyway, I hang up thinking, "No, you DON"T understand at all. You DON"T have any idea about the runaway, crazy, unpredictable feelings the parents of special children have. You have the perfect life, (yes y'all, I know that nobody has the "perfect" life, but that's still what I thought anyway), you DON'T the emotions of wanting your child to be treated the same as everyone else, you DON'T have to worry about her not getting invited to birthday parties or other events because other people don't know how to act around her or feel that they can't include her for whatever reason, you DON'T know the sting of that, you DON'T fluctuate between being strong and being a big cry baby, you DON"T have the knowledge that you have to work extra hard to make sure that your daughter feels worthy and valued and loved and accepted and beautiful and important because you know full well that their are cruel people in this world who love to treat people with disabilities as outcast. Honey, YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE!!!!" And, I also thought "I bet they were all just standing around waiting for us to leave so they could go party down without us knowing it"---Oh, God, I AM PATHETIC!!!!And, then, after I thought all of that stuff, I sat in the floor and cried, and then, I got up, went outside, and helped my sweet beautiful girls plant a Herb garden, and I was happy:) Anyway, that's it, their is my contribution to the Pity Party Club:)I am such a baby, huh?

O.K, we go back to church for the first time today (well, not the first time-the past two Sunday's we have been at my Mom's church because of special events taking place there), but anyway, today was first day back at MY church, and for some reason my hackles were just up anyway, don't know why, no specific reason, the world and everyone in it was just not sitting right with me today! had to work today, so it was just me and the girls, and Sage was so fidgety, restless, and hot. Tehya was doing her best to be helpful, which just made Sage act out more, and I was ready to pull them both up and storm out. Anyway, we made it to the end, we are leaving, everybody just wanting to talk, catch up, find out what has been going on with us, etc...well, everybody but the ones who, (and you know you have them at your church, too:) wouldn't talk to you if their life depended on it, (you know, the goody goodies, the ones who always want to know about everybody else's business, but they never call YOU, never ask YOU, how you are, you know the kind! So, anyway, like I said, my hackles are already up, for no apparent reason, and this girl--perfect life, perfect little girl, always dressed to the nines, hides the credit cards from her husband cause she spends so much money on clothes for self and child, doesn't have a clue what it is like to have a child with extra needs (except the extra need of a little discipline:) ), but she IS nice, she does always speak and ask about Sage, etc.Anyway, Sage is having a meltdown in the parking lot, this girl is trying to ask me about Sage, and I am just wanting to scream. So, I end up cutting her a little short, got home, felt bad about being rude, so I called her house to apologize, her husband, (who is my husbands distant cousin) answers the phone and he says "Hey, are y'all coming down?" I say "Um, no, I don't think so. I just called to speak with ***** for a second." He says "Oh, well come on down, we are having **** *****'s party this afternoon." Well, I am sure y'all can take it from there, right?His wife comes and quickly grabs the phone, never mentioning the party, says "Hey, what's up?" I say "Uh, I just called to apologize because I felt that I was rude this morning." She says "Oh, no, I totally understand."Anyway, I hang up thinking, "No, you DON"T understand at all. You DON"T have any idea about the runaway, crazy, unpredictable feelings the parents of special children have. You have the perfect life, (yes y'all, I know that nobody has the "perfect" life, but that's still what I thought anyway), you DON'T the emotions of wanting your child to be treated the same as everyone else, you DON'T have to worry about her not getting invited to birthday parties or other events because other people don't know how to act around her or feel that they can't include her for whatever reason, you DON'T know the sting of that, you DON'T fluctuate between being strong and being a big cry baby, you DON"T have the knowledge that you have to work extra hard to make sure that your daughter feels worthy and valued and loved and accepted and beautiful and important because you know full well that their are cruel people in this world who love to treat people with disabilities as outcast. Honey, YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE!!!!" And, I also thought "I bet they were all just standing around waiting for us to leave so they could go party down without us knowing it"---Oh, God, I AM PATHETIC!!!!And, then, after I thought all of that stuff, I sat in the floor and cried, and then, I got up, went outside, and helped my sweet beautiful girls plant a Herb garden, and I was happy:) Anyway, that's it, their is my contribution to the Pity Party Club:)I am such a baby, huh? And, just so you know, I posted a message in my Sage update (the one from the other day), explaining a bit more about her other medical condition, just in case you're interested:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
