Guest guest Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Thank you to all who responded to my concerns about the casting process. I feel much more relaxed and prepared for it. I am still very nervous about it but I know I am doing the best thing for my baby. We are going this Wednesday so say a prayer for us!

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Its good to hear that Chicago is willing to keep going with Olivias casting s to buy invaluable growth time. As Ive said multiple times before, I know this is why my daughter is doing well. Her doc kept casting to buy time prior to any surgical leap…This approach to treatment for children that missed their window at a cure is by far the best way to go…IMHO…If distraction rods are effective for up to 3.5 yrs or 6/7 lengthenings , than serial casting to buy growth time for our kiddos is a must in many cases.Sorry, you didn’t get the results you were hoping for. Keep up the good fight!HRH From: infantile scoliosis treatment [mailto:infantile scoliosis treatment ] On Behalf Of queenieSent: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 8:15 AMinfantile scoliosis treatment Subject: Casting Olivia 2 had her fifth cast placed yesterday in Chicago shriners, the results are good and bad. Her lower curve is 77% out of cast and 55% in the cast, her upper curve in 55% out of cast and 35% in the cast. This is right where we started a year ago, which is disheartening, but Dr. H said we are getting better correction in the cast. He said we should try to continue casting as long as possible to give her grow time and at least keep her curves from getting worse and look at surery in the future. I had convinced myself when we started this a year ago that this was going to work for Olivia. So now I have to except that it's not, and worry about what is best for her. She is now a stubborn Orange pistol. She picked orange this time around even though her grandma wanted her to pick green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
