Good Luck! I completely agree with . I

would ask lots of questions and confirm their experience with treating

infantile scoliosis. I would make sure they do the proper cut outs in the front

and back and anchor the casts on the hips, that they have the correct

children's frame (you may already know all of this so if it is redundant then

sorry). I would also make sure that you ask any questions about CPR and hymilc

in cast you may have, I know a lot of parents come home with those questions.

It can be hard for families to understand the choice to cast sometimes but juts

know that if your child gets proper mehta casting the will see the positive

results and how much more comfortable many of the kids are in their cast

(because their spine is straighter) they will get on board.

Then my only other thing is to say that the first day exhausting, but hang in

there, it gets much much easier.

Good Luck,

> Aubrey goes back to the doctor tomorrow afternoon in kansas city. We are

going to talk to our doctor and hopefully get things started for her first

cast. My husband and I have talked it over with ourselves, since our family

does not support the casting and we think that the casting will do more in her

favor than the brace is doing right now. Any suggestions on questions that i

need to be asking my doctor as we go through this process? and advice will be

helpful!
