Hi everyone! My name is ! My youngest daughter, Addie, was diagnosed with

infantile scoliosis in April 2011. She had her first casting on June 18, 2012.

It has been a joyous but utterly scary journey! She was diagnosed at 10 months

old with scoliosis, development delay, immature closure of anterior fontanel,

and left-sided weakness. Her back was 47 degrees curved but with the cast its

31. She is wearing it 2 months and having a 2 days break then another goes on.

She celebrated her 2nd birthday with her cast on July 1. The first week home was

very overwhelming and was not sure we could do this. Now its just a part of our

lives. While at the hospital, they asked if I had any concerns. I just said " A

class needs to be offered on how to diaper a baby with an upper body cast. "

:)Addie's cast is right at her hips. I am hoping the next one will be shorter.

The infantile scoliosis website has been a tremendous help to my husband and I.

I am very thankful for it.
