Hi!
First of all thanks to all of you who responded to my questions. We have decided to try the brace and see what, if any difference it makes. We go next week to get it. I don't know much except it is a Boston brace and Caitlyn is supposed to wear it 23 hours a day. I hope she can do it. As I have said before, she is very active and I hope all of this goes ok. I have a feeling this is going to be a little overwhelming for her once she gets it. We have told her how much we support her and are here for her and how important it is for her to try the brace and maybe avoid surgery. The other problem with that is they already told us that Caitlyn would most probably end up having surgery anyway. She hasn't started growing yet (is only 12) and has a lumbar curve of 44 degrees.
Thanks again for ya'lls (can you tell I am from Texas!) input. Would welcome any guidance, advice, etc.
