degrees.......4 months later 11 degrees and now 14 degrees. To me he has pretty

much stayed the same. " IF " he was to get up to 20 degrees he will go back to

wearing it full time. For now it is night time wear like we have been doing.

Hi everyone,We went for 's check-up and xray today. I say no change because the xray just didn't show any. And actually me and his doc thought today's xray looked a little better than in March. Although he measured today's at 14 degrees and March it was 11 degrees.SO he gives me the measurement and I say so it is worse? He says NO it is not. And reminded me of the variance. The man hates numbers!! I was a little let down that he had not improved, but VERY thankful that the brace is holding his curve. Just a little history..... .. went into a brace at 15 degrees wearing it 23 hrs a day......4 months later 8 degrees..... . ..6 months later 10 degrees-started wearing at night only........ 4 months later 14 degrees..... ..4 months later 11 degrees and now 14 degrees. To me he has pretty much stayed the same.

Glad to hear there was essentially no change. I know what you mean about the variance. The radiologist measured Ian at 7 and then the doc measure him at 11. Of course, I KNOW that there is a variance, but it still freaks me out.

Anyway, those are still good numbers! Woohoo!!
