Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Hi everyone, it's again. is doing really well in his cast. He looks to be growing into it quite fast, it's certainly not as roomy as it was 6 weeks ago. I am in the process of learning more about the serial plaster casts and early detection. I can't believe how interested and fascinated I am by it. The RVAD article I am reading makes me so frustrated as this wasn't done for . In fact, I was told there was nothing more that could be done for except for the TLSO brace, and we were to just watch and wait for the curve to increase until it got so bad he needed spinal fusion. Reading all this literature saddens me for my little boy, who, with proper detection and early treatment, would probably have a curve that has resolved by now. Can I ask a question, what are your experiences with the serial plaster casts for your children? Have any of the childrens spines in this group resolved yet, or are they still in the process of doing so? Have any of you experienced early detection AND early treatment? s curve is a very stiff and rigid curve, and I am learning the differences between benign progressive, intermediate and malignant curves. I don't know what s falls into, I do know it isn't a flexible curve whatsoever. If anyone has time to send a message back, I would love to learn more about your experiences with this. I must go. Tomorrow we have speech therapy early and I need to get to bed. The three kids wake up VERY early! Take care everyone, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
