Re: update on Sadie/Hayden's appt Thurs

[Guest guest]

Hi Rhonda,

That is terrific news about your daughter. My little granddaughter,

Hayden, 4 months, will have her 1st/next (long story) appointment

with a specialist here at Sacramento Shriners this Thursday. And

your good news is what we are hoping for with Hayden.....possibly a

non-progressive case. Her only xray was taken when she was 7 weeks

old in Sept. and so far we cannot detect any progression.

I have a question? Do you know what factors were involved in the

two doctors' determination that Sadie's scoli would resolve on it's

own?

Thanks and continued good luck,

Marsha
