Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Calling all recent Chicago casting parents!!! We have a new parent in Iowa City that needs your help. His son Wyatt is 2yrs old with idiopathic scoliosis. They followed their doc's advice and did the wait and see thing (like so many of us) and his curve quickly went from 40 degrees to 70 degrees. They now want to do surgery ASAP. The Dad called me looking for info on casting. Chicago would be the closest for them. We did not have good luck there (not counting the cast Dr. Mehta did herself during the training August 2007) and had our casting success with Birmingham. But, it has been a couple years since we were at Chicago and I'm sure the program has evolved since those early days and I know there are parents on here that could probably provide more current insight for this parent. Also, anyone (not necessarily Chicago) that started casting 2yrs or older with a 70 degree + curve that has had success with casting? I know he would love to hear about your experience as well. Thanks, Tina (Sophia M.'s Mom- who just turned 3 yesterday!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
