's Newest X-ray

[Guest guest]

Hi! We just got back from getting x-rayed! I think her curve looks GREAT!

I'm so excited! I was nervous because she's been out of cast and in a brace for

6 months. I just emailed it to Dr. H in Chicago Shriners to see what his opinion

is for our next step.

Reminder: Her last x-ray was taken back in June 2010 in her last cast (#3) and

measured 10* laying down under anesthesia (we don't have a film or digital print

of it).

Her last STANDING x-ray was taken in cast #1 in January 2010, which measured

23*.

Although I obviously can't measure the curve or anything, from my eye it looks

to be MUCH better than the 23* film. I'm SO excited!

I'll post the new x-ray pic in 's photo album on here. And of course, I'll

keep everyone posted on what Dr. H says.

Oh, by the way, she grew over an inch in the past 6 months (just found that out

at the doc's today).

Excellent news ! Amazing how our trained eyes can see the difference,

good or bad without any measurements. A parent always knows.

Great news!
