Hi! I just sent a private e-mail to Kris. I'm still trying to figure out how to use the NSF. Anyway, we have been on such a roller coaster ride since January when my daughter was diagnosed with and s shape (44/35). We were first told surgery. Our second opinion told us to brace. In April we found out the top curve had progressed to 55. She has a fairly signifcant rib hump. We just went back. The top curve was still around 55 but the bottom curve was worse. The Dr. came in all smiles and said that this balanced out her curve and we most likely wouldn't need surgery and come back in six months. We were floored. When we asked about cosmetics and the rib hump he told us this was no reason to do surgery. We really don't know what to think or do at this point. We're going to schedule a consult with the Dr. because we left so dumbfounded and confused. We're thinking of seeing another Dr. Any suggestions in the Charlotte area. I've read the comments about Shriners and Dr. Hey in Raleigh seems to pop up quite a bit. Did any of you also have cosmetics on your mind? We're also worried about her 55 degree and 40 something degree curves in her adult life. In April her riser was at zero and in July it was at 3. She still has some growing to do. Would love to hear your comments.
