Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hi all We just got back yesterday evening from having Peyton's 4 cast put on. The doctor said that he is down from mid 40's to 10 degrees in cast. He also reminded me that its not so much the spine curve as it is the rib rotation that is important. He said he is seeing some good corrections in the ribs and he is very happy. He said that it was great correction for only 3 casts. I'm just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and if so how many more casts did your child have to wear before going into the brace. I don't want to get my hopes but I'm really hoping we are getting close. My doctor doesnt give us an estimated time of casting because he doesnt want to give false hope which is understandable. He also said that sometimes kids can be in these casts for up to 3 years but he doesnt think thats the case for Peyton. Does anyone know what seems to be the average amount of time kids are casted for? I know its different for each child but on average does anyone know?? Thanks Lynn Looking for the perfect gift?

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 That's good news!!! Did they do an out-of-cast X-Ray at all? Our Dr doesn't want to do it (too much radiation). We got down to 11 degrees too in cast # 2, but I'm really curious to know what is happeing out of cast. I'm so worried that is going to go back up out of cast. The correction is great and is a good sign for sure.
