It's been ages since I've been here (sorry for those that sent me PM's).
Things had just been going status quo and I just hadn't really been on many sites.
We had DD's regular 6 month check at Shriner's (Chicago) yesterday and the notice of the curve is progressing and it's time to get ready for surgery speech happened. I just had a feeling it was coming.
She does go back in December and it *is* possible that they may change their minds and not go but as of right they went ahead and put us on the waitlist & the doctor said we are looking at February.
DD had a 40-42 curve and it is now at 48. She did SO good wearing her brace but alas, it was not meant to be. They had warned us prior to starting the bracing that was a huge possibility. Since she was so in that gray area when she started between age & curvature.
They basically told me to just start getting everything ready for surgery (i.e. talking to her school about tutoring, etc...). IF in December they change their minds, no problem but if they don't then at least everything is in place.
I'm just trying to get my brain wrapped around everything at the moment. Luckily, I had done a lot of research before the announcement so was pretty comfortable with what they were telling us but they will go over more of it in December.
