A Normal Life

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. Please share our story. For more information please check out http://www.infantilescoliosis.org/ 

Hello! It's been a while since our last post. The school year has begun for Brian and myself and therefore we are back to the busy go of things. For those of you that missed it, Olivia's cast is OK since her lemonade incident!

We don't have anything new to report in the cast department, except that she is two weeks away from her next one. We are excited because that also means a new undershirt! I want you to picture for a moment that I put a shirt on you and tell you that you can't take it off for two months! In a word; gross!!! It was white and is now a lovely shade of gray.

Her current cast is scheduled to come off on Monday the 24rd and the next one will be applied bright and early on the 25th. We don't have to stay over at the hospital anymore so that's a bonus!

I titled this post "A Normal Life", because really that's what it's been. So far the cast has not been an obstacle for Olivia or for us. It's really a relief and a blessing. Fingers crossed that the next cast will fit the same way and that we are on the right track.

On a side note I would like to send a shout out to a fellow infantile scoliosis blogger. Please check out her story here: http://babieswithscoliosis.blogspot.com.

I will close this post with a video. Olivia turns 18 months on the 15th and the floodgate of words has opened for the past month. There's nothing better than having your child be able to communicate their needs to you! She continues to crack us up on a daily basis.
