Guest guest Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hi, my name is Meredith and I am new to this site. My daughter Olivia is 8 and has a degree of 86. My daughter has a genetic disorder called Cri Du Chat and is in the severe/profound category. She is small and is basically the size of a typical 4 year old. We are going to attempt to cast her for the next three years and then do the fusion surgery. Are there any families out there that have a child who is somewhat involved that have had the casting done? Also, how long have many of you done the casting for? I do not mean to sound naive, but do they correct it with a gradual straightening? Is that why the casts are changed every five months? We will be going to Riley in Indianapolis.Meredith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
