Thats wonderful news about Colton!! Please make sure hes x-rayed in 3 months and not 6, just to be sure...(I know you will be keeping a real close eye on him.)

I'm so glad that CAST was able to help you. Thats what the group was developed for, so its great to read posotive comments.

I hope that you will continue to keep up with all of us, and definately keep us posted on how great little Colton is doing..

I have to admit, that I havent come across too many resolving cases either....So like Bert said, its great to know that they ARE out there!!

Congrats ! I am really happy for you and your family!

dont be a stranger,

sincerely,

I am so happy to hear the hopeful news about Colton!! That is so great! I wish we had more stories like that. You are a great advocate for your little guy, he is lucky to have such a great Mom. It was nice nice to talk to you, please keep us updated.

Love,

Thanks and I know what you mean about how much you rely on scoliosis land for support and education.

Great news about Colton. I keep reading about these self resolving curves so it's great to know they do actually exist. Best of luck from the only cast in Aus.

Both kids got sick and I kind of went into hiding for a little while!Enough stalling. We have great news! It looks like Colton has a resolving curve and is going to be fine. His curve was 30 degrees with an RV of 21 back in May and is now 14 degrees with an RV of 13! Dr. was very pleased with my "binder of knowledge" as I call it and was very impresed with you all and this site! I was very pleased with the Shriner's in Erie and all of Dr. ' crew.

believes Colton will resolve on his own although we are going for more xrays in February to keep on top of it. I have posted some pictures of Colton and his three sets of xrays for you all to see.I would just like to take a few moments and thank you all for being there to help us through this journey. I hope you understand how much this site has meant to us through the past few months. I know our case is mild and somewhat trivial compared to what some of you are facing every day, but and all of the rest of you have paved the way for moms like me to sleep with a restful mind at night and know that I am doing what is best for my little man as well as knowing that I am educated on what options are out there. I would have never known about casting or kyphosis or RVAD or COBB angles or how serious scoliosis is for that matter if not for you.I am in great debt to you all for

welcoming me with open arms and helping my family through this. I would like to continue to be part of this group. You've become like a family to us. Although I don't post much, I do read the posts and am so happy to hear all of the wonderful results you are all getting with your casts.Please keep us in mind if anyone is ever in upstate New York or if we can do anything for any of you. You have already done more for us than you realize. Thank you........ and Happy Holiday!Mom to Colton, 11 months (idiopathic) and Olivia, 8 yearsP.S. , my Olivia has become quite attached to your Olivia nd watns mt to keep checking my emails to see how she is doing. Please give her my Olivia's best wishes.__________________________________________________

Thank you (and everyone)

I am still not totally convinced that he is resolving so I am having

his xrays done again in February. It's almost hard to actually

believe.

Again, I am very grateful to have had this group to rely on for

support and anything I can do for any of you just let me know.

I am impressed with the results you all have gotten and believe you

have the luckiest children to have parents like you who are searching

for the best care for them possible.

You should be very proud ! A great resource!

(Colton thanks you too!)
