We’ve received two calls, now. The first came at 9:40 saying she was asleep, doing well, and the procedure had officially begun 10 minutes prior. The second came at 11:15 saying all continues to go well. It strikes me, for probably the millionth time, the things they’ll be doing to her today, and have already done to her, to straighten her unfathomably crooked spine and make her well. It’s crazy and incredible, and we’re fortunate to be able to access that kind of treatment and care. It’s also not easy becoming a super hero. She’s endured so much in this past week; she was clearly made of titanium even without Dr. C. fusing more of it to her spine….
Waiting Game…

We're fairly private people; our identities aren't important, but the story is. Many schools no longer screen for scoliosis, and some doctors don't because they think the schools still do. Because of this, scoliosis isn't on most people's radars. We encourage parents to learn the signs of scoliosis and to check their children as they grow so hopefully any issues can be found early when treatment is easier and more likely to be successful.
