2nd cast rescheduled to 12 weeks in 1st cast due to illness

[Guest guest]

Landon was scheduled for his 2nd cast tomorrow. He was initially casted on

8/28/07, so tomorrow will be 9 weeks in the cast. Over the weekend we all came

down with a terrible sinus infection so his casting appointment has been

rescheduled for 11/20/07. He will be 12 weeks in his 1st cast at this point.

It is already getting so tight and I am worried it will need to be cut off

before hand. If this is the case will his curve more than likely start

progressing and his 1st cast have been a waste ??? I am so stressed out about

it. Has this happened to anyone else ?

Thank you !!!
