Guest guest Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Levi just received his 4th & most likely FINAL cast!!!! Whoo hoo !!! This is the news our family has been waiting for & couldn't be more thrilled right now. Levi is now at 10* in his 4th cast & the doctors actually believe he will achieve better & more correction in a brace from here on out as to not over correct the lumbar spine. He was molded for his brace while under (before they applied the 4th cast) & he even got to pick out a blue camo print. He will be braced for most likely a year. We go back mid July for his final cast removal & to pick up the brace. It feels like we are on cloud 9 finally hearing words like cure, nearly straight, & no spinal surgery. We know there are never any promises, but our sons future never looked brighter! The PA actually used the words " poster child for Early Treatment " in reference to our son. I almost cried. Levi had such a fantastic trip as we had a few extra days for fun things. We all went to the JAZZ V SPURS play off game, the Hogle Zoo, & the Discovery children's museum. (if any other families get a chance the zoo & museum in SLC are wonderful for toddlers!)
