I am Gina, Mandy's Mom. She is 11 and was just diagnosed on 11/17, due to a PE teacher being VERY aware, with a 51 degree curvature in the thoracic and a 63 degree curvature in the lumbar. I am a 'retired' X-Ray Tech and did not catch it. Her's is very hard to see on physical exam. I am still beating myself up for not seeing it
She has surgery at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Blair E Batson Children's hospital on Jan. 14, 2010. Dr. John Purvis is her Doctor.
ANY suggestions, words of advice you can give up , GREATLY appreciated!!!
Her x-ray is here .
I drew the line so that those who don't read x-rays could see the curvature better.

PLEASE give me any words of advice you have to help her deal with this and prepare. She is doing great so far, just very stressed about having to donate her own blood.
Thank you,
Gina
