Gigi,
You can get a body pillow at Wal-Mart, Fred Meyer's, and possibly any department store that carries pillows. The come in different colors and patterns. My daughters is leopard print, because her room is decorated in leopard print.
I graduated from Cascade in 1979. I really enjoyed going my junior and senior years there. So, now I've dated myself. My husband and I were late starters in life with our family. I was 31 when I had my youngest child. I was 28 when I had Crystal, and had another one in between the youngest and oldest.
Crystal is wearing a brace, partly because she is a hard kid to slow down, and I think her doctor sensed that. The main reasons are it will keep her from rolling her shoulders forward because she has Scheuermann's Kyphosis, which is what her surgery was for, and to protect her fusion. From what I understand braces aren't all that common, but I'd rather have her slowed down and safe for a while. Crystal will be three weeks post-op next Tuesday and is going back to school this coming Monday.
I can only stress to you that his physical fitness is very important going into this surgery. There was a girl that had surgery done at the same time as Crystal and the mom had a hard time that her daughter wasn't doing as well as Crystal. Well, it was kind of like comparing a marshmallow to a rock. Crystal had the will to get up and going because she wants to be playing ball next season.
Keep us posted on how things are going.
I can't believe how small this world is. These things seem to happen more and more as I get older.
I will keep your family in my prayers as you go through this. It gets very stressful, because we are moms. But, the kids survive this, and believe it or not we do to. I wonder now why I got so stressed out before surgery. But, I know when the doctor schedules surgery on Crystal's feet, I will probably go through the same thing.
'til later,
Nikki
