Guest guest Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 We returned from Chicago yesterday after a long casting day. But with wonderful news! Makenna measured 10 degrees out of cast!!!! They fit her for a brace while they applied the cast. This will be her last cast. She will stay in it for 10 weeks and we will move to the brace. She was casted at zero, so the cast will be molded at zero as well, so I expect that we'll see some more correction in this cast and possibly continue to gain correction in the brace. It was the news I'd been waiting to hear from the beginning - and wasn't sure we would. I know there are more questions that I will have as we move forward to bracing. And I also know that there is no quarantee we won't need further casting or surgery down the road. But we'll face those facts if they come up. For now we give thanks to the many, many twists of fate that led us here. I am so grateful to have found this support and treatment for Makenna. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!
