    Congrats!

    It feels awesome! I know exactly how excited you and your daughter are. Its the best feeling in the world isnt it?
    Hey, so I'm Rebecca, I'm 20 and I wore a Boston Brace for one year, and then a Cheneau brace for 5+ years. The Cheneau changed my life. I now am out of brace full time!!!! Its amazing. For all my scoli-girls (and guys of course) hang in there - the day you get your brace off is the best feeling ever. All the years of wearing it won't matter when that day comes. amo vobis!

        Great news! 12 hours will be a welcome change, I'm sure! Does she feel like she's able to start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel?

        Just curious, did she get a new boston brace at this appointment and is that why the xrays were taken in brace instead of out of brace?

        Anyway, Congrats!
        daughter, 12, diagnosed 8/07 with 19T/13L
        -Braced in spinecor 10/07 - 8/12 with excellent in brace correction and stable/slightly decreased out of brace curves.
        -Introduced Providence brace as adjunct at night in 11/2011 in anticipation of growth spurt. Curves still stable.
        -Currently in Boston Brace. Growth spurt is here and curves (and rotation) have increased to 23T/17L

          My daughter just went into a Boston brace today. We go to the same office as you but we see Dr. Hoffinger. My daughter only has to wear the brace for 12 hours. She is going to be 12 in January. We are very grateful that she doesn't have to wear it longer.
