Quick Update on Arthur

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

I posted a few months ago about my son Arthur. He had a 15 degree curve (COBB

angle) at 4 months and it hadn't progressed, but also hadn't resolved at all at

7 months.

Arthur is now 9 months old and we had our first appointment at Chicago Shriners

today. They took a sitting x-ray (the last two were supine) which showed a

completely straight spine! Dr. H believes he has the resolving type of infantile

scoliosis and wants to take another x-ray in May once Arthur can stand for an

x-ray just to make sure it stays resolved.

I am so grateful for this group for educating me about infantile scoliosis so I

could make well-informed decisions for my baby. I also cannot say enough good

things about my local Shrine Center and the drivers who took us there and back.

I have been consistently impressed by every person I have interacted with

involved with Shriners and our trip today was so smooth and easy thanks to them.

I am going to switch my subscriptions to this group so I will no longer be

reading every message, but all of the cast families I've been reading about for

the last 6 months will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you all so much!

Foley

Great news about Arthurs resolving curve, ! Please continue to keep a close eye on his back and if you suspect any progression be sure to get another xray (standing) if weight bearing, supine if not.Great news, CONGRATS!HRH From: infantile scoliosis treatment [mailto:infantile scoliosis treatment ] On Behalf Of sihaya48Sent: Friday, January 27, 2012 4:47 PMinfantile scoliosis treatment Subject: Quick Update on Arthur Hello All,I posted a few months ago about my son Arthur.
