All went very well. We went to the brace shop and got fitted first in Chicago(the man who fitted her was so sweet), then we went over to the hospital. It was great to be in the hospital knowing our little girl wasn't going to be put to sleep that day... it was a little weird, but a great feeling! One of Hadley's cast nurses came to visit her. It was very sweet. Out of brace, Hadley's back was at 12 degrees. It went up 4 degrees since her last cast. This was worrying me, but the Dr said those numbers are nothing to worry about. Ill take his word! We go back in 2 months to get xrayed in the brace. And if all is well, she'll only have to wear the brace for a year. I asked the Dr if most kids go well and never have to cast again. He said its typical for a child not to cast again once there under 20 degrees.... they usually stay under. But its possible still to progress. I will try not to worry, especially when God has taken Hadley this far. She started at 74 degrees and 8 casts later is at 12. Pretty amazing! Has anybody had to cast again after going into a brace after casting? Just curious! Were also having a hard time finding a good tshirt that works for under the brace. Tank tops seem to bunch up and wrinkle and some are not long enough so her skin has been braking out where the brace touches her skin. The brace is great though compared to the cast. Shauna I'll post some pics in a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
