I guess I somehow missed new posts to this thread over the past week or so...
so Tammy, belated Welcome to the boards! I'm so glad that your daughter's fitting and results went so well. My daughter is in a similar boat (see my signature). They wanted to put her in a Milwaukee also since she'd have so many years in brace that they were afraid of rib deformities if she was in a TLSO. My daughter had an initial correction in brace similar to your daughter's and then when we went back a month later, she had even more correction (although we've given up a couple degrees of correction since).
Concerned Dad, thanks for the info about priceline. I'll have to look into that for our next trip. Also, it's good to hear about your daughter's initial results. What a story! I'll be thinking of you when I see the church our next visit. I agree with you on the xrays. I love that they have the lower radiation machine (when they first got it they were 1 of only 2 hospitals in the world to have it - presumably some more hav e gotten it in the past couple years). I also like the precision of the xrays with the foot positioners insuring a similar stance at each xray.
Pat, 11 degrees is great! I missed your earlier post, but I now see you posted last week that you'd be going up soon so I'm guessing that your post is after the Jan visit? Always such a good feeling to come home from an appointment that goes well!!! How old is your child? (you may have posted it before, but I don't remember)
CAmomof2, we go back in March also and I'm starting to get nervous as I always do. Especially since the other day when I saw her out of brace it seemed to me like maybe her curve was a little bigger? Although my husband thinks it looks the same. I hope he's right this time (even though normally I insist that I'm the one whose right)!
