Parental Awareness


Greetings and a Reminder:

I write this blog as we go through ET Mehta Casting with our daughter Olivia. The blog is intended to inform, possibly inspire, and raise awareness of Infantile Scoliosis and its treatment/cure. For more information please check out http://www.infantilescoliosis.org/ 

    Just a quick post. I wanted to emphasize that Olivia's scoliosis was not originally detected by her pediatrician. It, like many of the other scoliosis stories I've been reading, was detected by us, her parents and grandparents. Please be aware that if you're reading this and have a little one at home checking their back periodically is not a bad idea. It was definitely something I never thought I would have to do or worry about. When we think of scoliosis we think of back checks from our school nurse or gym teachers.
