New to the group! 8 months old Diagnosed with Infantile Scoliosis

[Guest guest]

HI my name is Jenn & my 8 month old daughter Jude was recently diagnosed with

Infantile Scoliosis as of 6-18-12.

As a baby she has been more than perfect. So when her father & I noticed that

her left side of her back near her ribs stuck out further than her right we

decided to take her to her pediatrician to be examined. After the Dr did an

examination he agreed that something was not right and sent us for an Xray. Upon

seeing that Xray we discovered she has a C shaped curve in her spine that was

indeed Infantile Scoliosis and as a mother my heart sank.

I immediately went home & googled as much information as I could about this

rare & terrifying diagnosis they had given me, now bear in mind I didn't hear

much after the dr showed me the X-Ray & told me he was referring us to

Children's Orthopedic Surgeon. We have her an appointment scheduled for next

month & I am just looking for some advice, ANY advice as to how to proceed what

questions to ask & so forth so please send it my way!

Thanks,

Jenn
