Haven't posted in a while. . . took son to orthopaedist on Friday for his 6 month check. Scoliosis seems to be stable at 26-27 degree upper and 22 degree lower curves. Kyphosis, however, has increased 5 degrees in past 6 months . . .the rate of progression of the Kyphosis seems to be at about that degree . . .5-10 degrees per year for the past 2 years. Is not at 41-44 degrees and we are still in wait and see mode.
Son is 15 and at the rate of progression we are seeing, he may well reach the 60 degree mark/surgery in not terribly long . . . but he handled the news well.
We talked about college and decided he should look for a college that has a stellar medical school/ortho program (not that he is going to major in it, but it would give him a doctor/program to follow him for at least 4 years as a young adult!)
So, does anyone know of a stellar medical schoo/ortho program/college/university???
TIA
PS the kyphosis finally showed wedging so he thinks it is probabaly Scheruman's Kyphosis along with scoliosis along with foot deformity. *sigh*
