P.S. to Jennifer...

Did you get that memory foam mattress yet, and did it help Nicole be more comfortable? My daughter is loving hers and it has helped so much.

hi susanna
wow, she is brave to let you do that to her incision!
I agree with the "bonding" My daughter was really against having the surgery, but we knew that she really needed it and we had to make the decision for her, so we had a lot of problems getting along with her in the months leading up to the surgery. She was very angry with us. That all changed after her surgery and it was a really great "bonding" experience i had with her. We are so much closer now and she is a much happier person now.

Hi Jennifer,

My husband said your daughter looked just beautiful, and that you would never know she has scoliosis. I wish I could have seen her!

My daughter is pretty trusting with me and medical stuff. I've always been "Dr. Mom". When she had stitches when she was little, she wouldn't let the doctor touch her, but I snipped out those stitches without a problem.

She knows I will listen and stop if it hurts!

Susanna
