Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hey,So sorrey the brace wasn't holding her curve. Glad you have got a casting date and don't worry June will be here in no time.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Chelsea, I am not sure I can think of better news. You not only got her a cast date, but she will be casted under the supervision of such a wonderful advocate and pioneer in the field of casting. We are wishing you the best of luck at your casting appt. Congratulations on such great news. Your family should be relieved and will hopefully support you in your endeavors on this new journey! started his casting journey at 67* at 10 months old. We are at 10 in cast and 47 out of cast after 2 casts. You will see a real difference with casting rather than bracing.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hi Chelsea! I am in the same exact boat with my son. He gets his first cast on June 2nd and has a 79 degree curve and is 14 months. I am nervous too and am hoping I can bring my son n swimming before the big day. Good luck to Aubrey! Please feel free to call if you need any support since we are going through this at the same time. My number is 717-695-4888. Where are you getting the casting done? I am going to Dupont in Delaware. I am just nervous because I am not sure how many Mehtas they have done there. So glad to hear though that you can get it done so soon!

I can " what if " myself to death, but it is what it is. I am excited that it is on now!! You will be shocked how fast she will get up and GOOOOOO!
