New to Group - where is best place to get casting done?

[Guest guest]

Hi! We are new to this group and were hoping to get some feedback on where

people are going for Mehta casting. We live just outside of Baltimore and our

daughter Ryleigh was diagnosed with PIS earlier this month with a possible

tethered spinal cord. She is 9 months old with 26 COBB and 22 RVAD - currently

there is no rotation. We have been waiting for a MRI to see if she needs

surgery to release a tethered cord before we can start casting. Has anyone had

successful casting experiences in or around Baltimore? We have an appt at

Shriners in Philly in March but may also consider trying to get her into

Cinncinati Childrens Hospital (my parents are less than 2 hours from

Cinncinati). Ryleigh's curve is between T11 and T7 so she would most likely need

a cast with shoulder straps. Any input on casting experiences at Shriners in

Philly or at Cinncinati Childrens would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Lori
