Guest guest Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hi Everyone, It has been a very long time since I posted but I wanted to give everyone an update on . will be 3 in August. was in a PCP jacket for 10 months. She was taken out of her last one in May of 2006. was then placed in a brace for six months. Her numbers at that time were COBB - 10 degrees out of brace and 5 degrees in brace. RVAD was still 15 degrees. went to Erie after six months to discover her COBB now measured 14 degrees out of brace but RVAD had dropped to 4 degrees. was then placed back in a brace for another six months. I am thrilled to say that last week we went to Erie to get terrific news. We had 2 xrays taken - one laying down and one standing. I believed it was time for a true picture. Laying down, is straight. Wahoo!! Standing, 's COBB measures 6 degrees, RVAD of 1 degree. We are now brace free. I am going to quietly hold my breath for the next year and pray that she stays nice and straight. I wanted to update everyone so that you know this is the answer. It seems like a tough road while travelling it but so worth the end. Everyone on this group has given me so much. The support, the knowledge, the direction, the kindness. I am eternally gratefully to Dr. Mehta and . We are all so very lucky to have found both of them. Erie, as well. What a wonderful place. I keep all the children in my prayers. Stay the course everyone!! Gratefully, Annie Nason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
