why all of the " brace " kids are having such a hard time with their braces.

had a modified TLSO brace with Cervical headpiece for over a year, and we

did not experience any of the problems that are being posted!

You can find pics of her in the brace here:

http://ph./group/infantile scoliosis treatment/photos/browse/7443

She had to wear it 23 hours a day. I did keep her hair really short because of

the headpiece, she would sweat quite a bit, and the headband that held her head

in place would get sweaty too.

Underneath she wore a onesie that snapped at the crotch. It prevented the

shirt from riding up. I was also able to find sleeveless onesies for the summer.

her brace was made out of molded plastic with a foam lining. There were a few

holes for ventilation.

I guess I am just amamzed at the amount of issues that have arisen from the

braces. Makes me wonder if they are being make too tightly, with incorrect

materials or what the deal is.

If I can offer any help, please let me know.

Gail

Well Gail do you or anyone have any ideas about us? Wyatt is back in his TLSO,

surgery didn't end up stopping the curve. We have been using the shits they give

us, got to hot, I thought 100% cotton sleeveless undershirts. Helped Wyatt from

getting to hot put moved around and rupped causing skin problems. I'm really not

sure if anything with help us, we're in Phoenix it's always hot here. If you

have any ideas let me know!

Thanks,

Terri,

What is the next step for Wyatt? Are they expecting the TLSO to help his

curve? I forget what degree of curvature he was at. There are so many options

out there now, surely they can come up with a plan that will address Wyatt's

scoliosis and keep it in check. Moriah's back did the same thing. Your story

sounds so familiar. I would love to see Wyatt find his answer much sooner than

we did for Moriah.

Gail,

I think we're having a hard time now (as opposed to a year ago when

Jake 1st went into his brace) because he is older and more active now

than he was then. And the 1st brace was only worn at night. Now

he's in it 23 hours. He never stops and is extremely tireless for an

almost 2 year old! Wears me out. I do think the brace is tighter on

the ribcage than his cast was, but I didn't think it was THAT tight.

I'm not trying to scare anyone; we love the removable brace. I just

didn't think we'd have the skin issues now.

& Jake

P.S. I spoke to another mom off-line and she, too, is having the

same skin issues we are. Our braces were made at the same place!

Hmmm...

He wore onesies just fine, as long as there weren't

Actually our daughter has been in a brace for about 3 months now, we haven't

have any problems except like the question i posted earlier, it seems to be

getting tight on her. She seems to be wheezing lately and has a cough she can't

seem to kick. When we take her out of the brace everything seems fine. As far

as rashes or heat...I just use regular clothes on her and she's been fine, if it

is a thin shirt she has been wearing she might have a red ring where the holes

were drilled, but go away pretty quickly. We were just questioning how quickly

they grow out of them. Granted she is indoors in the a/c a majority of the time

and our climate isn't quite as bad as others. I am thankful we aren't having

the issues others have been having with their brace. I love the brace as

opposed to the cast, but of course, we deal with whatever our little ones need.

jennifer......

is this just a heat rash you are talking about or he is having sores and

blisters? i just think something like a heat rash is to be expected. i know when

lexi even came out of her first cast, there were skin issues with that. i guess

with something removeable we just see it in a daily basis and naturally w ant to

be able to do something for it. that is my opinion anyway. unfortunately, there

probably isn't alot that can be done to prevent the rash besides just keeping it

as dry and clean as possible ( i know...easier said than done ) you know

something i did tonight because lexi hasn't been to the pool in a few days now

and has been spending her entire 23 hours in it is i had to use some peroxide on

a few mosquito bites to help clear them up....i just rubbed a dab on her stomach

where she was getting bumpy and it helped. I DO WANT TO CLARIFY THE SKIN WAS NOT

BROKEN ANYWHERE SO IT DIDN'T BURN HER!! i also make sure when she is out of the

cast for her hour per day ( unless swimming ) which is usually after bath i let

her run around completely nude and let her skin breathe. again....i guess it is

just something we have to deal with and try to manage to the best of our

abilities. remember the good the casting and bracing are doing for him also and

that we just have to get over a few speed bumps here and there along the way :-)

HANG IN THERE!!

Terri-

I live in West TX, so my weather isn't that different from yours..I don't

think. Anyway, I left Madison in the knit rite shirts and she always did great.

I did then, and still do wash all of her clothes in Dreft and use baby oxy when

necessary. I rubbed her brace with 70% rubbing alcohol evening after removal

for her bath. We had two braces made in San and one in SLC. They were

identical, and never any of the problems tht have been described. It is my

understanding that lotion, powder, corn starch, etc. worsens these symptoms. I

know not much help, but maybe something of use to you.

See that is part of what is confusing me. was 2 when she was in her brace,

and as I said, she wore it 23 hours too. She used to scare other moms on the

playground because she was fearless - and I rarely stopped her from doing

something. So she was climbing sliding etc just like all the kids.

I guess we were extrememly lucky because she never had heat rash, or skin

breakdown or anything like that. She did seem to get extra sweaty on her neck,

but I think that was because she had that headpiece thing. I know I did nothing

special. She had her onsie, and that was about it. No powders, creams, moleskin

etc. Makes me wonder if we just lucked out.

I have to say it breaks my heart to hear of all the brace problems. I just

want these kids to all get " straightened out " (for lack of a better phrase) as

fast as they can so they don't have to deal with these problems.

Please hug them all for me.

Terri,

Glad you are seeking a second opinion. Won't he be growing until he's almost

18? His curve could be way out of control then. SLC will give you correct

information. and the rest of the Mom's, me included, will be glad to

point you towards any information we can to help you. There are so many more

options now that just waiting around and watching kids get worse. Let me know

if I can do anything to help.
