Hello all,
This is my first post and I would like to thank everyone in advance for any replies. My daughter is 15, a very avid competitive soccer player and has been a a brace for the last three years. The first two years the brace seemed to hold pretty well but in the last six months her curves have rapidly progressed to T48 and L31 (hopefully I am posting this correctly). At our last appointment her specialist recommended a consultation with the surgeon which is scheduled for 08/28 (seems like forever away with little hope to get in earlier), the week before school starts. With the help of this forum we are working on preparing for the possibility of surgery but have lots of questions.
1. Has anyone had any experience with Gillette's Children's Hospital in St. Paul, MN. or Dr. Lael Luedtke and if so, what can you tell us?
2. Are there any other soccer players out there who have gone through this and have you been able to rehab and continue to play?
3. What kinds of things did you do to occupy yourself while you were healing?
4. Can you give us some idea of time frames that you have experienced such as; how long the hospital stay was, how long were you out of school, etc.
Any other advice you can give us?
