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/
Tomorrow is the big day. At 2:00 P.M. Olivia's 5th cast comes off and she will be x-rayed out of cast for the first time since she was x-rayed last June. I am so excited/freaking out/hopeful/scared/optimistic. We want the spine to measure less than 15 degrees. If she's 15 or less and can maintain that in a brace then she will be cleared in a year. If she's still not there yet she'll get the brace for the summer and we'll talk about casts again in the fall. If she can't maintain a low number in the brace then we will talk about casts again. Please pray for a nice low number so we can happily move into the next phase of our journey; the brace. More tomorrow....
We missed each other by one day again! We picked up E's brace yesterday. It is going to be a hard transition to the brace but we kept telling her how much better it was though she doesn't seem to believe us (probably doesn't help we are moving today). I hope you get out of the casts for good!!! The people at the brace shop are very nice. :)
