Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Angie, I am sorry. Your post sounds so sad, I know what you are feeling and just want to say that you aren't alone. I forget how old Isabel is right now, but it sounds like your dr's are trying to buy time and that is good. HUGS to you... ps. we were just told pretty much the same thing today too. Surgery is imminent at age 8-10 for Hayden as well. I try not to think that far ahead. Joanmom to Hayden 3 43 degrees down from 62 in cast3rd CastTreated at ish Rite Hospital Dallas, TX To: infantile_scoliosis Sent: Tue, January 19, 2010 8:54:15 PMSubject: Isabel update xray before the 8th cast came off. 50 degrees. my heart is heavy. 8 casts, almost one full year. we are down from 77 to 50. kills me bc we were at 24 at one point. she is in a tsol (?) cast now and they hope for maintenance and maybe a little correction. basically we were told that surgery is imminent when she is 8-10. right now if they can keep it under 50 we can avoid spinal surgery until she is 8-10 yrs old. sigh. just wanted to share. i've got nothing else. ~angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
