We got our first brace late last week and my daughter is actually liking it right now! She says she sleeps like a log and her back pain during the day is diminishing. It was getting so bad that she pretty much had pain whenever she moved. Her only complaint is having to go to the bathroom more often...she has the providence brace and wears it only at night. She also has reason to be tucked in at night now for the next 5-7 years! (she says she can't cinch the brace by herself) Hopefully, this brace will hold her curves and her check up in october won't show any progression. Keep your fingers crossed!

im glad
good for your daughter that she likes wearing her brace!most kids ABSOLUTELY hate their brace and stay quiet.they dont feel comfortable talking about it at all. When i got my first brace (it was a boston brace, too), i felt invinsible with it on. it was my "suit of armor," and a "corset" combined! i got a habit of freaking out the other kids with it and telling them to knock on it. wearing a brace isn't all bad as you can see.
bon chance!
(good luck)
