Guest guest Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hi Everyone, I'm grateful to find you and thanks for having me. There's so much good information here which I'm still working through. My 5.5 month daughter Lucy was just diagnosed with scoliosis - we knew something was wrong by the hump on the upper right of her back, but we're still in shock and so scared. The radiologist called it a mild curve with no bone abnormalities. The curve seems to extend from the top to bottom of her spine. We live in Boston and are heading to Children's Hospital next week for a consultation so I will get more info then. We have family in Rochester NY so are also considering scheduling an appt at Strong Hospital since they seem highly regarded and experienced in the Mehta process. Does anyone have any experience with either Hospital? I believe Boston Children's does practice Mehta but I will confirm. Lucy has no other health issues that we know of. She is a long thin baby, so we're worried about progression (I know it has progressed in the past month by looking at her). We're also worried that she has an upper right thoracic curve which has a 'worse' prognosis for females per the text books. I assume the outcome of our Tuesday appointment at Boston Children's is going to be to wait and watch. How long should we wait? Again, thank you all.
