Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Thank you Steph. ~K From: Krista Sloan <kmsloan18yahoo (DOT) com>Subject: [infantile_scoliosi s] (unknown)To: infantile_scoliosis @yahoogroups. comDate: Wednesday, January 7, 2009, 5:49 PM Hi Group, I have a cast question, my son has the over the shoulder cast from SLC and we are set to have a cast change at the end of this month. Believe it or not, the cast does not seem to be getting too "tight". I almost think that it may be rising up. I was reading to him before nap time and I noticed that he was dipping his chin below the chest portion of the cast and chewing on it!?? I have been weighing him and he is gaining wt, but he also seems thinner, from growing taller? Has this happened to anyone? Next question. Jack is 18 months old and as I mentioned it is going to be our first cast change....how did your kids handle the cast coming off....were they sore or weak? I have swimming in the indoor pool at the Crystal Inn on the agenda. How did your kids then react when they were casted the next day? Just trying to be prepared. One fellow Cast member suggested fun toys and that sounds great. Any other tips? Hope all is well with all of you and your kids. ~Krista PS if there are any SLC parents that can prep me with the procedure, I would be most appreciative.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hi Krista If you take a look at the pictures I posted 3 of them are how Dylan came out of the OR. Its nice that we can get Mike to do the spots that are a little tougher. When Dylan is still under its easier for him to do than me when hes awake. We like having it wraped right around the tummy cutout and Bib area we have only had this done the last 2 casts but it works. Mike also did under the arms this time which helped alot, Dylan has a tickle problem there! Dylans doing great and we dont have to worry till March for another one. I think hes going to be a little prize fighter and go 15 rounds. I guess we are taking that "wait and see" attitude but at least we are trying to do something about it by casting him. I hope all goes well for Jack on your next trip. If you like I have some tips on getting through TSB at the airport real quick and "POOH" plays a big part.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 We live in Florida and travel to Shriner's Chicago for casting. We fly out of Tampa Airport and it is a very easy 2 1/2 hour flight in to Chicago and then an easy 20 minute taxi ride. Where are you in Florida? Subject: (unknown)To: infantile_scoliosis Date: Monday, April 20, 2009, 7:37 PM Hello! I just joined your support group. Basically, I am looking for a doctor to treat my daughter's infantile scoliosis. I just moved from WI to FL...my daughter is on her 3rd cast (she is 17 months old) and although the first cast brought her from a 74 degree curve to a 55 degree curve...in her 2nd cast she fell back to a 68 degree curve. We were devastated! I agreed to try another cast...but I really have been researching Dr. Mehta's technique and I would like to find a doctor...no matter what city or state...that is experienced with the casts and has proven results! I will take her anywhere!!!! Thank you for your help! Sincerely, , & Iljana Simonovich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
