Guest guest Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi everyone,We went down for Jake's 5th casting to Portland Shriner's on Wednesday morning and while he was under we got paged which of course freaked us out! Dr. D said he had good news and that Jake is 0 degrees and that he didn't have to be casted and wanted to mold him for a brace instead. Both our doctor and us were shocked and thrilled! Cast #4 he had gone backwards from 3 degrees to 13 because he was out of the cast for 2 months. He had a major growth spurt as well and Dr. D said that his vertebrae weren't "wedged" anymore and that the space between them is normal now. We go down again from Seattle in a week to get the brace fitted. I am still in shock and just want all of you to know how grateful I am to have the support of this group and I thank God everyday for all of you and for starting this treatment. It has truly changed our lives. Thank you!Sonja senMom to Jake 2yrs on July 19th, started at 50 degrees, 1st cast on October 7th 2010, 4 casts, July 13th 0 degrees! Wow!
