Very best of luck with the MRI! We've had 3, and our first one was scary going into, but it turned out to be not so bad at all.

Hi!

I'm Leigh and my 3 yr old son Noah was diagnosed with infantile scoliosis of 18

and 23 degrees just before his first birthday. He was put in his first brace

when he was 18 months with the 18-23 hr a day requirement. We were holding

steady but unfortunately the brace wasn't changed out soon enough and the curves

progressed to 28 and 42. Fortunately though, it hasn't got any worse since

then.

Somehow the MD never really explained that bracing simply is supposed to keep

curves from getting worse and does not correct so soon we'll be going to

casting.

We have our first MRI tomorrow and like others - I'm worried. Noah doesn't

exhibit any problems from the scoliosis and his curve appears minimal to the

blind eye so hopefully the MRI reports everything else is ok too...

Looking forward to sharing stories and information with everyone here.

Thanks!

Just wanted to say welcome to CAST! Ask any and all questions you have of this great group! Our son's curve looked minimal to the naked eye, too, at first. The MRI was not so bad, our little boy was up and playing later the same day.
