Guest guest Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Hi All! Just wanted to update you on my little Marci and ask for some good vibes/energy/prayers. Marci had her 3rd cast removed on Thursday because she has apparently achieved all the correction she can out of her casts (she currently has no detectible curve). Instead of bracing right away, her doc wants to monitor her out of a cast for 6 weeks, as he thinks her spine will hold and that bracing may not necessarily be a requirement for her. My husband and I were very nervous at first, but have since decided to trust in our doc-AND GOD-and leave Marci cast free for 6 weeks. I've been worrying and stressing about her little back since this all began, her condition has literally rocked my world for the last year, so right now I'm taking a break from the worry and enjoying my cast free baby. Actually removing the cast was a bit traumatic since she was awake and SCREAMING the entire time. Also, I wasnt quite prepared for her not being able to control the top part of her body--she was literally a noodle for about an hour until she learned to stand and walk again. Apart from that, our experience through all of this has been a blessing. , ISOP, ish Rite, and the friends I have made here--all have changed my family's life. Please keep Marcela in your prayers and send her little back some strength to hold that nasty curve at bay, FOREVER! P.S. I posted a pic of Marci at home and cast free..she is definitely loving it(: Dianna (mommy to Marcela, 20 mos. currently cast free after 3 casts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
