Levi's cast #3

March 3, 2012

Levi got cast #3 on Thurs. in SLC. It went well & they believe that casting is

working for him! He's down around 15* now with the rotation basically gone.

His little back did look better to us...the rib hump is almost gone out of cast!

We got great news that the Doc is thinking of doing one more cast mid May & then

moving on to bracing come summer & hopefully from then on out! So 5 more months

of casting...we can do this! I'm apprehensive about moving to a brace before we

get down as close to 0 as we can, but the Doc is the expert & I know that he

will do whatever is in Levi's best interest.

This time around we were so happy to meet some other wonderful families from

here on CAST & also close to home! , through out the casting day I saw

one common theme. All these families were there getting the help we need

because of you. You were there one Google click away with hope & information

when we all so desperately needed it! Thank you from the bottom of my heart &

more importantly from my straight growing little boy.
