Today we had an appointment with the surgeon that recommended our daughter have surgery. We feel alot better about things now. I have done a lot of research since Feb when we first found out she may require surgery for T45 degree although see does have a lumbar curve as well he feels correcting the T-curve will be enough at this point to allow the lumbar curve to correct itself. He was very good with her and really took his time explaining things even when his receptionist interupted us to remind him he was very behind, he reminded her what type of appoinment this was and he would take as much time as we needed. This definatly made us feel good. He answered all of our question in detail and also made a point of connecting to Danielle and making sure she had all her questions covered, she is shy so it took a bit for her to spit the few questions she had out. She felt very comfortable. We have been put on a waiting list for surgery and while usually wait times are a year long the Ontario Government has just made more OR time available for this surgery as they feel the wait time is just to long. Not sure how long but she would like it done sooner than later. She did not want it during the school year but we may not beable to avoid that. We do still have an appointment with another surgeon but I feel in my heart and gut this is the guy. Thanks for listening. This forum has definatly made this difficult time easier having people that truly understand our situation.
