Hi
My 12 almost 13 (Feb.22) year old daughter was dignosed with scoliosis in August, 2005.
Even tho she had had 2 screenings for scoliosis in grade school, it wasn't detected.
I just happen to be looking at her back one day as she bent over. I knew then something wasn't right.
I'm guilt ridden , I should have known after all I'm her mom.
I've been a lurker on this site for a couple of months now. I think I've read every post. I can't believe how brave these kids are. and you parents, how did you get passed wanting to breakdown everyday?
My daughter has an S curve 30 and 47.
Yesterday we saw the surgeon for the first time. Of course he says surgery. I knew already but now it's just more real. My husband is in denial.
He's still hoping for a miracle.
My family (sisters, niece etc.) are all in denial. They can't believe I would even consider such a surgery. I just know I'm going to have a hard time with them.
Emily (my daughter) says she wants the surgery , if it means her back will be straight but she's also very scared. She saw the x-rays. She says she just wants it to be over with and for things to get back to normal .
My husband didn't like the surgeon. and I'll admit he was sort of out there.
I don't know if we can trust him. My husband says we have to get a second opinion. I know he's right but I also know it's going to be the same outcome.
How will we know if we get a good surgeon??
How do we know if we're making the right decision??
and what if we don't...
I'm sure it's pretty obvious I'm a complete wreck.
