Re: Good news for once.

That is great news. I just remembered that Moriah once had a 3 D Cat scan which created a computer model of her spine. They could rotate the image on the computer and see her curve from several angles. It really helped us understand her rotation, etc. Maybe they would do it that way. Be sure to ask about hemivertebrae (malformed vertebraes). They should show up on a CAT scan. Only an MRI will show neurological anomalies like syrinx. You can request a copy of the radiologists written notes on the CAT scan. When you do get to meet with an pediatric orthopedic doctor, ask for Jessie's Cobb angle (degree of curve) and his RVAD number (has to do with progression). Take a copy of the Mehta article with you and have your questions written down and in front of you. I always froze up in the docs office and left without all my answers. Where are you guys

again? I sure hope that things are turning around for you now and Jessie will get a clear diagnosis so you can get treatment for him. Please let us know how it all goes.

He explained to her the situation and how long we have been waiting for Jessie's medical records. She called us today and let us know the medical records are in the mail today. This same receptionist believes she has cleared up things in which we can call Dr. Blasier's office to recieve quicker information. We will find out tomorrow when we call and find out about Jessie's CAT scan. So far today we haven't been able to reach Leigh Ann to find out if Jessie is

feeling well enough to have the CAT scan. 14 days until court!! YaY!I should know all about Jessie's curvatures by friday. We are so anxious. It will be nice not to be in the dark over this.Jackie
