I have not posted since our last visit to ortho where he suggested a show lift. It has been 6 weeks and the show lift did not do a thing. In fact after looking at her new xrays yesterday the surgeon thought he was going to have to fix her leg length discrepancy before fixing her scoliosis. The discrepancy acutally turned out to only be 1cm which is what the shoe lift that she has is - so there is no question now that it is all her spine. Her curves are slowly getting worse and it has been determined that she should have surgery to have it fixed. I knew that this was probably going to be the outcome after doing so much research but now I am a nervous wreck and feel sick to my stomach.
I feel confident in our decision to do this but everyone now and then there will be a brief moment of second guessing. Can anyone share their experience and feelings about the decision to have your child undergo surgery like this. I know in the long run it will benefit her but boy my emotions are running wild right now,
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
