"I guess it's just that this situation looks so insurmountable. I've read your stories and been inspired but I don't have the strength you all have. My dd and dh are very strong and I guess I feel inadequate b/c I don't have their strength.
I'm also in the stage of beating myself up for missing this in her and not catching this earlier."
Marian,
Don't beat yourself up. I would NEVER have caught Jesse's scoliosis on my own. His pediatrician did during a routine physical. Jesse was 17* at his first appointment with the surgeon, so catching it early not necessarily guarantees no surgery.
You do and you will have the strength. You may not feel like you can handle it, but you will.
If I knew before Jesse's surgery what I know now, I may not have been so anxious.
Whatever you need, whenever...
