Guest guest Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Can you try to reward her for wearing it. Like if you put it on without a fuss you get.... Or ever once you put it on without a fuss 10 times you get ... I'm so sorry it is so hard. Good luck! Jenn > > hope anyone can stand some complaining but Gabi will not wear her brace...It is too small but I can't get her a new one just yet. It is hard for me to say whether it is really too small or if it is just her trying to get out of wearing it. She is 8 and a half. I am ready to give up on the brace, the opposition is getting too out of control. But then I worry about her having to go through surgery. She is constantly asking for it off. it is very stressfull. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Oh ......I feel for you and kinda know what you are going through. will be six in April and is getting more and more like what youa re describing about Gabi. I just have to keep reminding him that it helps him. NO, he doesn't care....he just hates HATES his brace. Can you tell if it is too small by looking at her skin after she has been wearing it for a while? Maybe do like Jenn suggested reward her with something. Maybe some time out of the brace??? I am sorry I do not have a better solution. I am kinda going through the same thing with . Good luck and hang in there.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I'm sorry .... At 4 1/2 we have only encountered a handful of times when Noelle has not wanted her cast or brace. I'm sure that as they get older it is so much more difficult for both parents and kids. Talk to her doc and see if there are options, like just wearing it at night, etc. if it's possible. I hope it gets easier for both of you:) - Noelle's mommy, 4 years oldRochester NYCasted 8 times for 1 1/2 years9 months in braceRegressed and went into cast 9Back in brace at 8 degrees supine, 13 standing! reflux, mild plagiocephaly, mild torticollos, hypotonia, ligament laxity, suspected Ehler's Danlos III From: ansiosamjm <hemivert@...>Subject: brace woesinfantile scoliosis treatment Date: Tuesday, March 1, 2011, 4:07 AM hope anyone can stand some complaining but Gabi will not wear her brace...It is too small but I can't get her a new one just yet.
