Worried parent - baby just diagnosed

[Guest guest]

My 5 month old daughter was just diagnosed by our pediatrician with

infantile scoliosis (25 degree, right thoracic). She has had one x-

ray. We have been referred to a pediatric orthopedist.

has been through a lot, having been born slightly premature and

having to spend 2 weeks in the NICU unit.

She appears healthy and, in fact, thriving. Her motor and cognitive

skills appear excellent.

I am very worried, to say the least. I know there are probably

plenty out there facing much worse, but having almost lost

the night she was born, I'm not sure how much more I can take. Can

anyone share anything that may provide comfort?
